Trump gave a 2 hour call to arms speech in Pa. yesterday and we still treat him with kid gloves just because Putin and Comey helped him win the presidency. It is a fatal mistake to treat him like any other president. No other president tried to overthrow our democracy.
It is a mistake for DOJ to say it will not be partisan, because being non-partisan overlooks the fact that the Republican party has morphed into the Magat party whose goal is to overthrow our government.

"It was terrible that Hitler brought hatred and death into the world, but it is worse that good, decent people stood back and allowed it to happen." Winston Churchill." (A paraphrase)
