I recall Trump's cult continuing to chant "lock her up" at rallies, and endless chatter about how the deep state controls DOJ because they haven't prosecuted Hillary. The reality is that Hillary's actions, as reckless as they were, did not merit a criminal charge, which is why even Trump partisans like Bill Barr never brought them.
Biden's Justice Department passed on this case. It treated Trump with kid gloves surrounding classified documents, and the orange man still stumbled into committing multiple felonies. This whole shtick of "Trump is getting picked on for nothing and the Democrats get let off for serious crimes" is completely absurd factually, but the cult lives in alternative facts land.
Bill Barr wrote an entire book about how he rejects the politicization of law enforcement and especially the weaponization of the justice system to interfere in politics. He was such a Trump partisan that when Trump asked him to find some legal contrivance to support his election fraud claims, Barr told him to fuck off and resigned on the spot. At least up until Trump's back was against the wall on his shameful exit, Trump and Barr aligned their legal philosophy on that concept of disentangling law enforcement from political intrigue like Muellerburger and focused instead of hanging child murderers.
The fact is that while Trump played the kayfabe game with his chuds by chanting 'lock her up', he never had any interest in weaponizing law enforcement and would give Clinton a free pass and avoid any messy prosecution that would divide our nation, and he made that clear immediately the same night he won the election. He came right out and said it in his victory speech, which earned some respect from me, I definitely noticed. Joe Biden & Obama and their ilk who spent their whole campaigns and tenures pretending to take the high road turned around and shamelessly exploited law enforcement to persecute their political rivals. Now they're throwing everything they can at Trump in a hopes to break our democracy before Trump can win another election.
If someone keeps ranting about how he's going to fuck a goat and screaming it loudly to the world, but then never does it and turns out to be a rational and civil person in action, I'm not going to be as concerned about him as the mild mannered guy who while visiting the zoo suddenly jumps into a pen with a bottle of lube and gets to work. Joe Biden's the actual goatfucker, yet you're still hung up on Trump cynically playing his followers.
