I'm clearly no legal expert, but is the President allowed to tell the DOJ what to do and who to prosecute. Isn't that yet another impeachable offense? Such as this.

I would imagine the court would be fine with it in general.
I’m still curious if the law actually, in practice, prohibits vindictive prosecution. Because if the president publicly ordering his AG to prosecute his political enemies doesn’t clear the bar than i can’t see how anything would ever do so.

Wow. Trump publicly ordering his AG to arrest his enemies, even after prosecutors say there’s no there there.

This does make you wonder how much of his communications to his cabinet occur as private messages on Truth Social.

John Bolton indicted for sharing classified information
I honestly don't know how they can do this with a straight face after Hegseth's online fuck up. Not to mention Trump's golden lavatory debacle.

That indictment is more serious than comey's. There's a reasonable chance there's a real case here. I mean that is possible, right?

Sure.

Cohen seems to think there's a case in the Comey indictment and he's pretty experienced with how a weaponized DOJ works.

I can't stand the warmongering bastard and I rather doubt he's guilty. Incidentally, I find the fact that liberals now love him to be very disappointing.

I would humbly suggest that he's not the most reliable of commentators.

The weight of online punditry that's come across my feed seems to think the Bolton indictment is pretty serious.

Well I've certainly been wrong many times before, although admittedly I look at an awful lot less online punditry than most people.

I forgive you for not being in tune with online punditry, but I'm not sure what your assumptions about the Bolton case are based on, other than "if Trump did it, it's stupid".

It's been a pretty reliable method for predictions thus far.
My assumption is mainly based on the fact that I'd be a little surprised if somebody as smart as Bolton would set himself up for this. Obviously coupled with Trumps history of vindictive and petty behaviour, which nobody is likely to deny.
