    Obama literally ordered the assassination of Osama Bin Ladin and no one is trying to persecute him for murder, so I think Trump is 100% correct in his thought process.

      Thanks for pointing out to us that you’re unable to differentiate the distinctions between mass murdering terrorists and political rivals.

      Or for that matter, the difference between persecution and prosecution.

          Good point. I guess all of Biden’s bases are covered, should Trump’s arguments hold water with the courts.
