What’s the difference between trump pressuring the Dept of justice to go easy on his friend or Obama siccing the irs on someone?
Simple
In trumps case he is using his pull to help his friend who is in trouble for helping him. Not really a surprising move. Something all those now upset about here should be rooting for. It’s called הכרת הטוב. From the guy who has no morals or מידות.
It threatens nobody, and really is nobodies business.
Whereas using the Irs to harass your political enemies, is something that threatens the very bedrock of free society.
Even someone who is perfectly clean can still undergo years of hell and fortunes of money to clear themselves, with no recourse to Seamus that lost time and money. It’s a real threat.
It’s almost as if the president can Willi nilli lock someone up for years for disagreeing with him personally or politically.
Additionally it’s the stupidest thing to get upset at trump for.
He is fully in his rights to wait until they sentence stone to 1000 years in prison plus the death penalty. Harsh enough? With no meddling from trump?
And the next day pardon stone and he walks out a free man.
So what’s the issue if beforehand he let’s it be known that he thinks this is too harsh of a punishment?
Fabricated indignation from trump haters
