I believe that the targets of his investigation committed real crimes and know this, and are trying to escape justice by complaining that the investigation and prosecutions are political, partly because Trump supporters will believe it. What's a shame is that you believe it too.

Many people commit all sorts of real crimes and are never prosecuted. Manafort has been convicted of crimes for which the DOJ abandoned investigations previously. And then he pled out on “collusion” offenses because he’s illiquid (feds lock up your assets and preclude borrowing with their forfeiture claims). Caveat emptor applies. But “justice”? You went there. The word “justice system” is a joke to any sane person near it.
Here’s how the feds win: They outspend you and freeze your assets. That’s your “justice” system in a tweet.
I’d shovel shit before I’d prosecute anyone. I don’t fear karma or believe in any laws of the universe, but even with that thinking, I fear an angry god would do the worst to me to me for being involved in “taking folks out” in our “justice system.”
It’s like being a Cowboys fan, or rooting for the Empire in Star Wars.
