Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan

Hunter
Here’s the reality.
No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear
Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination
Pardon warranted

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
