The Democrats are howling about lawfare and abuse of powerand yet they forget their own abuse when they've had power in bygone years.

Breaking — DOJ opens criminal investigation of Lisa Cook, subpoenas issued, grand juries involved.

Perhaps they have forgotten how the Clinton Justice Department brought corruption charges against a career civil servant named Billy Dale whose only crime was being the long-time head of the White House travel agency, a job Mr. and Mrs. Clinton coveted for their friends the Thomassons (of Hollywood fame_, and so Mr. Dale was charged with embezzlement and corruption. It was the only way Clinton could fire Dale via federal law. So he brought false accusations against Mr. Dale (who won handily in his trial). Remember that Democrats?

This is just one example; there are many others where Democrats have weaponized the law against political opponents.

But Trump isn't weaponizing anything; he wants to fire Cook precisely because she has been breaking the law. If the Democrats want to hold Trump to a riduclously high standard over mortgage loans then why shouldn't his DOJ apply the same standards to everyone? Fair is fair. And Cook was playing fast and loose with the rules.

Why are Democrats angry? Because Trump is using their own tactics against them (even though he's not, nor really). It is what they would have done in his shoes.
