It is awfully telling that the closer we get to the election, and the more Trump sinks in the polls, the more desperate he becomes to find some pretext to arrest his political opponents. He obviously knows there is very little chance that he can win electorally, and is therefore determined to find any way he can to unfairly rig the election in his favor. Attempting or threatening to arrest his political opponents is straight out of the playbook for tyrants like Putin and Erdogan, for whom Trump has expressed admiration. He has even expressed admiration for Kim Jong Un, perhaps the cruelest and most notorious despot on the planet! If that doesn't give you serious pause about supporting Trump's reelection, what will?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Should the Justice Department be used as a political tool?
Maybe you should ask General Michael Flynn
Should we ask him why he broke the law? Did he admit he broke the law? If he didn't he would not have any reason to say he did. The democrats were in no position of power to go after him.

The answer lies with Eric Holder and your conveniently deaf ear from 2008 to 2016.

You're a fine one to accuse someone of deafness when for the last 4 years or so you have remained deaf to the unending tsunami of lies spewed out by Donald J. Trump.
