Where are we, when the defeated outgoing party, sets in motion a perpetual investigation of the incoming Party-President, complete with powers to wiretap the President's personal attorney?
This entire episode seems a lot like a permanent ruling class, filled by attorneys, mastery of every law, ability to tie the system up almost indefintely, and discourage non-members from daring to serve.
Only a handfull of Republicans bother to stand-up firmly. The Clinton, Bush, Obama, Romney families belong to the club, but few others do.
No doubt, I think this is correct.
I think this is a pattern, but it think even the connected go after one another.
From Watergate forward.
When one side is elected, the other side will file motions, seek special counsels, hold congressional hearings, etc., etc.,....
Here is a list of the most recent, and some of you could add to what was investigated to a few of these names:
Clinton had to fight it (Whitewater, got caught on something different). Bush had to (hanging chads, to name one), Obama (fast and furious, to name one, but nothing has come of it).
Trump (Russia, but they are trying to catch him on something else, like Clinton).
Only Ford and Obama have seem to dodge this fiasco (so far, Obama may not be through yet, but I wouldn't count on anything).
