so justice will not be served. Persecution until the administration gets what it wants is not justice.

Yeah, but you can bet Eric isn’t going to hound the black cop who shot the white kid. Eric belongs in prison.

the congress hes been running under.....hasnt had an exactly strong position TO do anything.

The New Congress wont likely be exerting a strangehold on common sense and common decency that this congress has had.

They MAY even IMPEACH the SOB!

”... they’re just PR anyway."

Thats the bottom line. More votes for Democrats from low-information citizens.

Judge Napolitano said today on Fox that Holder can get an indictment.

But most believe that it would not stand up in a court trial, but would appease the base anyway.

No adjudication took place because there was just a hearing, not a trial finding facts.
