EDMUND BURKEJustice is blind. That's what we expect from our justice system. In America, police and prosecutors don't decide whom to investigate or prosecute based on who they are - what political party they belong to, what religion they subscribe to, how wealthy or poor they are - but soley on what evidence suggests they may have done. Dictators in authoritarian regimes use the state's power to prosecute people for political purposes. That is not how things are done in America. Until now.
President Trump made it plain he wants the Department of Justice to investigate Hillary Clinton. The Attorney General has now ordered the Justice Department to investigate whether, when she was Secretary of State, Clinton agreed to permit a sale of American uranium mines in return for contributions to the Clinton Foundation, and maybe her email practices as well. It doesn't matter what you think about Hillary Clinton. It doesn't even matter whether you believe she may have engaged in illegal activities. The rule of law in America is far, far more important than Hillary Clinton.
When he became President, Donald Trump took an oath to ""preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."" When he became Attorney General, Jeff Sessions took an oath to ""support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."" Is that what they are doing?
The Constitution is under attack, and all genuinely patriotic Americans should be alarmed.
