Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

For a prosecutor to announce plans to launch retaliatory, partisan political prosecutions is a violation of their oath of office. To do so runs afoul of @ABAesq standards for prosecutors, the Code of Prof. Responsibility, the bar rules of their state.
So what are their names?

Aaron Rupar:

James #Comer on Fox & Friends says he took calls yesterday from county attorneys in KY and Tenn. who are eager to "go after the Bidens" to retaliate for the #TrumpIndictment #legal

@GottaLaff Being from kentucky I can assure you there’s not a solid brain in any of those idiots.

@GottaLaff How many porn stars did Biden pay off in KY?

But, sure. They get witnesses who bring the receipts, they get a properly-assembled grand jury, they get an actual on-the-books crime committed prior to or after holding office, they provide opportunity for witnesses speaking for the accused to address the grand jury, etc., then, if they get an indictment, let it happen.

This is not a probable scenario. I have a gift for understatement.

I'm sure most powerful people have bent or broken the law during their careers. Very, very, few of them have done it as stupidly and as often as Trump, or left such obvious trails of evidence.

But if criminally-inclined office seekers were *deterred* from running, knowing that any crimes they committed and got away with (so far) would be investigated thoroughly... would that be a *bad* thing? Maybe running for office should not be considered a logical next step for the corrupt?

@LizardSF The usual fight over who was corrupt would be the reason why that doesn't happen, I suppose.
@GottaLaff I can't imagine what "crime" they think that they can prosecute when the Bidens don't have businesses or homes in TN or KY.
@knitvspurl There's nothing to prosecute and they're well aware of that.
@GottaLaff I mean if they have evidence of crimes and a grand jury thinks so as well, let them do it. But I don't think they have any of that.

@GottaLaff I think we should all understand by now that the talking head on Fox News is *knowingly* lying.

Fox News' audience doesn't want the truth, they want to hear about retribution.

@tob We understood that a decade+ ago.
@GottaLaff since they have no agenda to run on….guess this will be their next best thing
