Tommy, Tommy. What O did was the opposite of a vendetta.


A vendetta is about trying to destroy something or some one. The O admin targeted nobody, no company, nothing at all for destruction. Not in the Solyndra case. That was targeting a start up company to support. To help. It's many things, most notably progressive politics beyond the scope of prudent govt policy IMO. But it's not a vendetta.

Trump is targeting Amazon, The Post, and Bezos personally in an effort to hurt them. The opposite of what O did with Solyndra. Trump is on a clear vendetta that may well give rise to First Amendment issues if it does actionable harm.

You're desperate to pound this round peg into a square hole but it doesn't work. It's not that these things aren't similar. They are the opposite of each other.
