Justice Department obeying Trump order and investigating defeated political opponents??

How is that the entire Justice Department personnel, at least those that have any integrity left, didn 't resign en masse, when Session ordered an investigation of a defeated political opponent (Hillary Clinton), just so that the dictator wanna be in the White House will be happy without any valid evidence or any new development that warrants an investigation? So now this means that the Justice Department can be used to launch baseless investigation to harass political opponents ???? Can you imagine if Obama has ordered the investigation of W or McCaian or Palin and if the Justice Department has complied? Can you imagine the firestorm that would have created, and rightly so??

Wow, the bridge to crossing into Banana Republic just got a lot shorter with today's announcement of the Justice Department reopening an already investigated/ baseless case against the Clintons. Jeff Sessions should be disbarred for involving himself in seeking dirt on former FBI director Comey to please Trump and obstruct justice in the process. He shouldn't hold a law license, much less be in charge of the Justice Department. This s a giant mess.

America votes them in again and again as they are easy prey for the GOP, and the idiot factor is so damn naive/gullible.

the winner of election 2016.

They will pick us off one by one, group by group. the war on uses just gearing up and even if we win the house and senate in 2018 it will continue.

I don't believe we can expect strong leadership from the legislative branch. Legislators will tend to compromise-and those who stand out too much will be cut down.

I don't believe strong leadership will come from those who want to run for president in 2018, They will be compromised to a great extent by personal ambition.

We have a leadership vacuum.
