The unethical NYT and Dems are doing their typical sleight of hand. A banana republic goes after their political opponents because they are their political opponents. But that is not what is happening here. If Clinton is gone after it is because of corruption, corruption in office and other illegalities. Clinton and the Dems know that the “banana republic” accusation would be used to forestal any attempt to root out and bring corrupt officials to justice and thus they had a green light to be corrupt.
I’m sure H-> committed all sorts of crimes while she was not a “public servant” and not in a campaign for office.

That’s why I’m holding out hope that the rumors (thought it seems to be fact) of lots of sealed indictments are absolutely true, that there is going to be a massive sweep of suspects at a single point in time, and many start dropping info in fear of serious jail time.
That’s going to be the *only* way to nail the Clintons once and for all. If they only bring in Clinton and her 2016 associates from her failed POTUS campaign, then they’ll milk “Banana Republic” for all it’s worth. Hell, even Bill dropped the “dictator” word on some TV show recently. That’s a sign that they’re gearing up for a war using their buddies in the media.
If you make the arrests “big” in that the scumbags can’t chatter back and forth to get stories straight -AND- insure you’re arresting GOPe cronies at the same time (and I think it’s pretty evident there are many of those given the recent behavior in the House and Senate), you can help quell any of that “banana republic” nonsense early on.
What would *really* help is a big Dem name flipping ... the Clinton’s won’t go down easily (well, Bill might, Hillary too depending on the woman, but I mean “go to jail” easily) :-).
