I think we need to manage our expectations - a few people will go to jail for non-political crimes like money laundering, tax evasion, etc.

We are not going to see high level Democrats locked up for Spygate or the fake dossiers or for mishandling classified information. The Clintons won’t get locked up for selling state secrets to foreigners for profit. Sorry.

It’s just not going to happen. There will be dire consequences for Democrat political crimes though, - political consequences, not legal consequences.

Seeing corrupt Democrats skate might be hard to swallow, but the dark cloud will have a silver lining: The political consequence will be far reaching - the Democrats are going to face decades, maybe generations of inability to win elections.

On the other hand, if they were locked up, the very next Democrat President would simply grant them a full pardon.

I think Trump’s approach of destroying them politically will be far more effective than trying to lock them up.
