> Are you saying the entirety of the DOJ apparatus could be politically steered to look for non-existent evidence or make frivolous referrals?

Yes, absolutely and unquestionably. This fact is blatantly, blindingly obvious to anyone who hasn't had their head buried in the sand for the past year.

*past 5 years

Which was exactly my point. It happens more than it should, and it’s wielded by both parties.

That said, as in all cases I’d like to see the evidence and probable cause and not rely on Fox News or CNN.

There is no comparison between what this administration is doing and any that have come before it. Attempting to draw that false equivalence is just pure foolishness.

It doesn't happen how it's happened the past year though, this is a false equivalence. The DOJ being weaponised as an intimidation tool against dissidents/opponents is not that common, it's become normalised during 2025.

I really cannot comprehend how you cannot see that, I'm not even American nor living in the USA but have followed American politics for a long time (since it impacts my life in some shape or form for as long as I remember).
