    Default Trump Suggests DoJ shouldn't indict Republicans close to an election

    This one is just...horrible. Even by this wacko's standards:

    Trump criticized Sessions today
    because the DoJ indicted two sitting Congressional Republicans a few months before the election:

    via Twitter:
    Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff.
    This is in apparent reference to Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins-
    two of his earliest backers in Congress
    . Collins was charged with 13 counts of securities fraud, wire fraud and making false statements related to an alleged insider trading scheme.
    Hunter was indicted for using campaign funds for personal use and were charged with counts of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations and conspiracy.

    He's already pressured the DoJ to go after his political enemies and former opponents. This is also the same guy who has repeatedly argued that the Mueller investigation is plagued by political bias. Let that one sink in for a moment.

    This isn't what draining the swamp looks like. This is what corruption looks like.
