I'm struggling with your last few lines. Has nothing to do with


possible hypocrisy of anti-Trumpies who want Trump investigated but not Hill. This is about Trump and his actions as president. The fact that he would simply tweet "go after Hillary" and the Justice Dept apparently hops to it - that's the problem. That is unacceptable in absolutely every way in the nation that is supposed to be the model for the world of the meaning of "rule of law". It isn't that Hill can't be investigated. It is that the president of the US does not make public calls on the Dept of Justice to investigate his political opponents.

Trumpies stand for Trump's attacks on judges ruling against Trump U. They support his attacks against the independent media for reporting he does not like, simply because he doesn't like it. And now he is publicly calling for an investigation in a way that makes it look like weaponizing his Justice Dept. So what you are saying you trust is being violated by the nature of the tweets and his actions. Sessions has to stand against our elected president at the risk of his own job (Trump already threatened to fire him, until repubs told him if he did that, it's game over).

So it isn't about whether you trust the Justice System. It is about how you can continue to support a president who represents such a clear and present danger to all of our checks and balances.
