“Trump and sessions will never prosecute a democrat. You may know why, I certainly don’t. But they sit and watch mueller prosecute republicans for bull pucker.”

The reason is that Trump is shunning the entire Democrat playbook because it is evil, coercive and averse to self-governance. Weaponizing government agencies to criminalize your political opposition is part of that playbook and Trump wants no parts of it.

Trump wants to win at the ballot box and thereby return the power to the people as he promised. If he fights fire with fire like everyone here seems to want him to, he would be guilty of exactly what he wants to put an end to.

Therefore, he is going to let them sling their arrows, speak directly to the American people about what’s happening, and let the people be the judge.

Meanwhile, the Democrats lie and cheat to get elected - they rely on their MSM propaganda ministry to deceive the people and a corrupt deep state bureaucracy and weaponized counter intelligence agencies to destroy and criminalize their opposition.

They know if the people know the truth and had a straight up vote, they would never win another election. The progressive movement they are pushing is essentially socialist redistribution of wealth and loss of individual rights. It is the exact opposite of the self- governance and limited state authority embodied in the constitution. It gives authority to a coercive bureaucracy. This ideology is deeply unpopular and therefore must be sold by deception, bribery, blackmail, character assassination - and yes witch hunts and thuggery.

I would personally like to see Trump line up all these Obama co-conspirators in front of a firing squad. They are guilty as hell - I’d even like to pull the trigger.

But I think I understand why Trump is not going down that road...I think he is trying to lead us back to true self governance where we don’t try to pulverize our political opponents - yes they fight dirty - but that doesn’t mean we should.

I guess it’s kind of like turning the other cheek. Then everyone will see who are the bad guys and who are the good guys.

If we fight fire with fire and put the Democrats in jail, it’s hard to tell who has the moral high ground. Besides, they would all wind up getting pardoned anyway.

I hate to say this, but I think they might also be holding off on prosecuting Democrats because the country is already at a breaking point. Can you imagine what would happen if they arrested Hillary Clinton . . . or Barack Hussein Obama (umm, umm, umm?). Every leftist in America would join the “resistance” and start acting out their childish violent fantasies . . . and at SOME point the adults in this country aren’t going to take it and fight back.

That said, NOT prosecuting these people is ALSO doing terrible damage to our country - maybe worse damage, as a matter of fact. Decent people who believe in justice are justifiably angry and concerned because we DON’T see justice being done, or see a double standard of justice where everyone who’s ever known Trump is hounded and given an anal exam of every moment of their lives and then thrown in jail if ANY of it is not 100% honest - while if you have that precious “D” next to your name, you’re immune to . . . well, obviously, EVERYTHING. On top of that, any thinking person’s opinion of the “justice” department has to be right down there - somewhere between the creepy porn lawyer and a bunch of sex perverts. No one trusts anything the FBI does anymore, nor should they, and our court system isn’t any better, since any RAT judge feels that have the right to stop anything the President is doing because they CAN - and, again, the “justice” department and Supreme Court just sits back with their thumbs up their asses and let them get away with it. Lovely.

when your opponents commit the crimes that have been committed including a coup and Hillary’s litany of crimes, they have to be imp-riosned for the sake of justice. We are either a nation of laws or we are not. People can’t escape justice because of who their victim is.

Weaponizing government agencies is a cliche that means nothing. Either the decision maker is honorable and following the law of not.The democrats weaponized to conduct coup. Trump is not weaponizing he is enforcing the law.

whatever trump is TRYING to do does not override the need for justice. That is owed to the citizens and not an individual thing he can ignore. He has an oath to uphold the laws of the US. Criminals must be brought to justice to maintain the rule of law.
