I hate not knowing if this guy is guilty or it's trump taking his revenge out on him.

It's almost as if institutional independence and public trust was important or something.... Oh well. Probably best to burn it down and start from scratch anyways.

Feds can get you for sex pest behavior? How does the GOP even exist then? Outside prison walls anyway.

While the GOP shamelessly uses the power of government to oppress their ideological enemies, the Dems are more interested in “moving past” their counterpart’s crimes, maintaining a healthy GOP, and promoting bipartisanship. Which is why George Bush is a free man and on friendly terms with the Obamas.
