I do remember when France became a banana republic when it prosecuted Sarkozy for corruption and bribery, and when Israel became a banana republic when it prosecuted Ehud Olmert for corruption, and when Italy became a banana republic when it prosecuted Silvio Berlusconi for corruption, bribery and prostitution, and when South Korea became a banana republican when it prosecuted Park Geun-hye for corruption, and Taiwan became a banana republican when it prosecuted Chen Shui-bian for bribery.
How many of them were running for office?
All of them were the political opponents of the people in power.
Were they the leading candidate in opposition? Trump is the leading candidate.
That is not a license to commit crimes.
To be fair, I do remember all the republicans in 2016 saying that DOJ should definitely not prosecute Clinton, no matter what she had done, because she was the leading candidate for the nomination. Don't you remember that?

I guess that's a step up from what we were before today.
How so. A hallmark of a banana republic is the strong man using his government to put his opponent in jail. After it works once, it’s a preferred way to choose a successor. Welcome to the new Democratic dictatoriship of America. How is cutting the voters out a good thing. And how is a ridiculous Whitehouse with naked men on the whitehouse lawn something to brag about.

Is this sarcasm? I distinctly remember a three word chant all Republicans would utter.

No, what happened was that the investigated the case and didn't find any prosecutable crimes. Trump's AGs spent the next 4 years investigating a whole host of democrats including Clinton, HB, and John Kerry, and also didn't find any prosecutable crimes. This was just a few years ago, it isn't like it was so long ago that your false assertion should stand without challenge.

The investigation started before Trump announced his candidacy. Or in your world, anyone can announce a run for an office to stave off an investigation?
