They put those people in power. Then they don't prosecute people who are their political friends like mayor Adams people who are willing to go along with them And then they antagonize they demonize they vilify and then they try to investigate and Prosecute people who haven't done anything wrong and that's what's going on with like Comey. That's what's going on with Adam Schiff That's what's going on with letitia James and so on you know you you taught constitutional law at American University
