He had mercy on her soul but she listened for the other foot to drop every fucking day.

Disappointed. Bigly.

There were tons of investigations as more and more wrong doing kept being exposed, like when kiddy-fiddler Anthony Weiner got busted, exposing emails Clinton lied about. She was referred for charges and even referred to the AG for perjury. That's all you can really do (not that Trump personally had a hand in that), it is in the court's hands from there on.

The multiple investigations found tons of wrong doing, and some perjury. Ultimately, no one accepted to pursue charges. The investigations themselves, and the prosecution decisions (or lack of), where so riddled with corruption and mishandling, such as Attorney General Loretta Lynch running interference, that it sparked a Senate probe specifically for her, and a full-on internal State Department investigation.

In the end, they found letting the illegal email handling slide was the prescient and the whole event exposed so many embarrassments of in the FBI/DOJ that they just swept the rest under the rug. They had too many of their own internal problems to deal with. Instead, they focused on retribution against those who didn't help prevent an objective handling of the investigations.

The DOJ has done nothing but break new barriers in partisanship, bias, and corruption ever since and has lost all credibility. We have a dual system of laws now and it seems corporations dictate who should or shouldn't be prosecuted by the DOJ through media pressure campaigns.

You paint a picture of Trump being powerless. It's the excuse I hear for why abortion remained legal during his presidency.

But when it came to the assassination of Iran's top military leader, Trump had no problem ordering the bombing at the Baghdad airport. At his order, the military sprung into action to kill. Nobody stopped him on that. He literally ordered another man to be killed. He also gave billions to pharmaceutical companies and mobilized the military to distribute mRNA injections with an emergency use authorization, bypassing the FDA's normal safety testing. Nobody stopped him.

I don't believe that Donald and Hillary are the enemies they pretended to be on television, and it is an illusion that there are two political parties. They all work for the same master.

Yes, Presidents don't extrajudicially jail citizens, that would be the act of a dictator.

Presidents can and do regularly take out well known terrorist leaders who attack, injure, and kill US troops. Particularly after a recent attack on our troops. I'm not fond of doing this without a trial either, but this became common place after the War On Terror began and still holds true even if that long time terrorist leader has a side-job/day-job as Iran's General. The US had been trying to take that dude out for almost a decade.
