>I don't buy it. A president that will literally direct his AG in public to prosecute his political enemies.

This is what happened to Trump though, the established politicians do not like him and did everything they could to stop him from running.

Again, this is a excuse-making whopper. The republican aisle in the senate refused to convict him twice, which would have prevented him from running. I won't argue "do not like him" in the abstract, but in practice established politicians in his party are 100% behind the guy.

The federal efforts at prosecution were also hesitant more than "everything".
