Protecting Trump’s enemies from prosecution just reinforces the idea of politics as retribution. Instead, Democrats should be defending his most vulnerable targets.

Also he should commute all federal death row inmates to life. The one thing that people don’t remember or realize is just how incredibly bloodthirsty Trump was in executing federal inmates. He did it in his last year because, if I am not mistaken, he had an issue procuring the necessary chemicals for the lethal injections.
Trump executed more people in his one term than any other president in the 20th century save for FDR, and FDR was a 4-term president (technically 3 since he died shortly into his 4th term) and a very large portion of those were Nazi saboteurs (Many of whom were also American citizens, so they were guilty of treason). In total FDR had 16 people executed. George W. Bush, for all his bloodlust in Iraq and elsewhere, executed only 3 people, 1 of whom was Timothy McVeigh.
Trump, in the span of only 6 months, had 13 people executed. This is unprecedented. Trump talks about being an old school ‘strong’ president who was free of political correctness and wokeness, yet even someone from the 1920s would have found his actions to be disturbing.
