Let’s have two prosecutors

I say great to a special prosecutor to investigate possible collusion between Russia and Trump. The fair thing to do is to have two special prosecutors, one for Trump and one for the Clintons.

In the Trump situation, not one FBI or CIA official has claimed to have seen any evidence, nor have any rabid Democrat congressmen or senators.

In the Clinton case, we have extensive testimony detailing numerous actual infractions committed by Hillary, along with Comey’s outrageous statement to the effect of, “yeah but we should let it slide.”

Well, let a special prosecutor and a grand jury decide if we should let it slide. Some might remember that five individuals were granted prosecutorial immunity and some were even allowed to smash their computers, i.e. evidence. And we have not even started to crack the nut of the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play action where smoke is found in abundance and of millions of dollars flowed to the Clintons and their Foundation.

And by the way, “gifts” to the foundation have nearly dried up now that Hillary is not in contention for the presidency. Hmm?

Yes, let us have two special prosecutors.
