First, Trump isn’t prosecuted. He’s being investigated. There was sufficient evidence to support a search warrant which was then legally executed.
As for HRC, she complied with every request (something Trump refused to do in this case). She testified at every hearing about her email server. She surrendered paper copies of all emails and requested the State Department provide their copies (again, something Trump refused to do). In the end, after 4 years of investigation, the FBI concluded that although sloppy, there was no basis for charges.
Of course, facts never stopped Trump and his suck-a$$ GOP cronies from whining.
Goofy Gorrell apparently engages in hypocrisy and false equivalence. BUT HER EMAILS! is a worn out trope. Give it a rest. She didn’t take home boxes of classified documents.
“Rules for thee, but not for me”. Hillary’s scandal was using a private email / server to avoid having her work emails saved for the record, like every other Sec’t of State before her. When it was discovered, she cooked up the Russian Collusion scheme with Christofer Steele to take the focus away from her and put the false narrative on Trump. She even paid for the this from her Election Campaign funds. She is the one whose home the feds should storm into.
Mr. Gorrell, to be even handed, if you’re going after inappropriate e-mail handing don’t forget to sic your dogs on Ivanka… what’s particularly egregious about Ivanka’s use though is that her father complained about Hillary’s emails at least bajillion times BEFORE Ivanka decided to do the same…

Listening to a weepy, blubbering Hannity and others like Gorrell wailing false equivalence whataboutism’s over and over and over is just glorious. The Republican Party is dead and just doesn’t know it yet.
Poor, poor Trump. He shouldn’t be investigated. He shouldn’t be held accountable. Remember, we are a country of laws and the primary law of MAGA is BELIEVE! OBEY! FIGHT! (look it up).
@Say What Now‽- I think Gorrell is making a good point here. Trump and his idiotic followers made such a ballyhoo about some BS emails and chanting “LOCK HER UP!! LOCK HER UP!!” But at least she didn’t have her home raided by the FBI!
This is just stupid. Even for the cartoonist this is stupid. But then again being Trump supporter and a proponent of the Republican Party doesn’t require any brains or cognitive abilities. Clearly the cartoonist has no concept of reality or nuance as anyone not deeply into the Trump cult can see the differences between the two. I will give him this though, he managed to get his misogyny, anti-intellectualism, deep fear and insecurities all in one cartoon.
Don’t forget that REPUBLICAN committees investigated Hillary over and over and over again for years and, much as they wanted to, couldn’t find any criminal actions.
The FBI left a detailed index of what was removed from Mar a Lago, and trump has the printed search warrant. If this was political, it is perfectly within his rights to release his copies to the media, so everyone can see what this was all about.
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.
Hillary was not only investigated for many different Trumped up charges over the years, she also never, ever pleaded the fifth under any hearing or deposition. She turned in all relevent emails, hid nothing, which the subsequent laptop and Comey’s defying his orders and having a press briefing about emails they already had.
BTW, when the FBI is actually investigating you, they don’t have press briefings to make it seem you have committed a crime, because they already know you have. They have press briefings alleging a crime when trying to influence an election for the benefit of the party they ‘think’ has their back. FBI leadership is learning the hard way that the Republicans have been gaslighting them about the Democrats for decades, in order to deflect the FBI’s focus away from them. Now to see if the FBI is willing to put on their big boy pants and actually go after the real criminals, or if they plan to put on their diapers and allow the Republicons to continue to bottle feed them lies that they have accepted for so long. It’s really hard to admit when you’ve been played the fool for so many years.
Once again for the very last time, H. Clinton’s e-mail question was examined and reexamined without effect. A vulgar talking yam seems to be convinced that evil was done (unspecified, but probably having something to do with the Clinton Foundation), and has talked a lot of nitwits into believing it, too. (Nitwit defined: Anyone who believes a thing Donald Trump says.)
Well said, if you are a Clinton/Biden you are above the law. Case in point: Comey says they will not pursue charges, even though there may have been possible violations. Why was the information not given to a federal grand jury with the same enthusiasm given to the supposed Trump violations? Since when does an investigating agency make that decision. That is a decision the prosecuting authority should make.
