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

Yes, have you not been paying attention? Politically motivated prosecution is modus operandi for the Trump administration...

*all administrations

Or do you believe it’s only one party? What’s your take on the 4 years Biden was in office wrt investigations and prosecutions of Democrat rivals? Clean hands, all legitimate?

For reference I’m not a Trump supporter, since that seems to be relevant to up/down votes here.

Oh, so is what-aboutism what we're doing today? Deflect the legitimate and obvious with 'the other side might've done something bad too once upon a time'? No, I don't think anything the Democrats have done at the federal level wrt to the DOJ comes close to what Trump has.
