Can We Not Discriminate Between Words and Deeds?

It's worth noting, as Trump says that his indictment was the kind of thing that was never supposed to happen in America, that he campaigned in 2016 on a message of “lock her up” about Hillary Clinton, his opponent.

------------------

Oh maggie dear!  Ask your father: the seasoned journalist.

You need to distinguish between boisterous campaign language, cheers from the cheering crowd happy to edge him on, and employing the expansive machinery of the justice department to spy on and trump up false allegations that imperil a person's life.

One party did that -- was caught doing that again and again.  The Steele dossier, the Clinton campaign allegations, the FBI spying before president-elect Trump even took office.

(You might not know much about that, lil mags, because the MSM tried to bury it; refused to cover it whilst they had 5 reporters assigned to the Trump beat, with each story needing three bylines each for plausible deniablity...)

Hillary Clinton never faced political persecution for her legal missteps, caught after (and while) she was in office, allegedly serving as Sec. of State, but also serving herself and The Clinton Foundation, as well as her family, handsomely, some say.  

Just like a lot of long-gripping Washington political families today who have made grift the family business out East.  But we're going to lock up Donald Trump, and make an example of him?  Hm.

They've got more faith in Jack Smith's physical powers than do I, for the record.
