    The actual norm is the president *ordering* DOJ to investigate his opponents. Nobody ever said political opponents who committed real crimes could never be investigated by non-partisan figures insulated from partisan pressure.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1387879468853866500 …

    The complete absence of horrified reaction at the raid on Rudy Giuliani's apartment means that we've quietly abandoned four years of pretending there's a norm against federal investigations of the president's political opponents.

        Surely the actual norm is not to investigate your opponents on bullshit charges.

        Had Trump wanted an investigation of Hillary he could also have ordered a SC be appointed and found someone non-partisan / left leaning to fill the role.

        You mean the norm is *against* ordering DOJ to investigate opponents, right? Think you dropped a key word there.
