Your alternative is to vote for those who’ve already done it, or to abstain? Past choices are the best predictor of future actions. Apparently you hold that “weaponized” doesn’t include include directing the FBI to investigate parents who disagreed with woke school boards or slow-walking Hunter Biden’s prosecution to a sweetheart deal stopped at the last by a judge asking a basic question. Better yet, consider the IRS whistleblowers who risked their future careers by reporting the limitations placed by the Justice Department appointed prosecutor upon reasonable lines of investigation.

Our choice is between a party hack whose mind is far gone and a loudmouth whose claims (which result in him dominating the news) far exceed his reach.

"Past choices are the best predictor of future actions." Okay then:

“According to Sessions, the President asked him to reverse his recusal so that Sessions could direct the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton,” the Mueller report said.

and

Geoffrey Berman, a Republican who served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York until Trump fired him, described Barr’s Justice Department in his book, “Holding the Line.” “Demands came down from Main Justice that were overtly political — among the most outrageous of them, pressure to pursue baseless criminal charges against John Kerry, who had served in the Obama administration as Secretary of State,” he wrote.

Hmmmm. Looks like Trump and the Republicans started 'weaponizing' the Dept of Justice before Sleepy Joe did. Trump is already priming the pump for round 2; listen closely to his language.

All I am saying is that Trump is not the answer.

What were the baseless charges against Kerry? I suspect that it was that he continued to speak to Iranians and recommend to them that they hold out for a Democratic return to office. I very much suspect no one would think that baseless if a Republican did it.

Please name an actual crime you think John Kerry did.
