Political activity is a First Amendment Right of every American, more important than "religious liberty" if you ask me, because without the one you can't have the other. The DOJ is NOT supposed to put a target on the back of every American who supported or worked for Trump and conduct grand threatening inquisitions of them in some disgusting effort to defeat a candidate in an election, to blackmail him when he wins anyway, or when he doesn't fall for that one either, the "insurance policy", fabricate a case to impeach the President by coercing and squeezing supporters and people who worked in his campaign.

I realize you don't understand this, but I would have expected Jeff Sessions to understand it, and it is very disappointing that he clearly doesn't.

Any of the folks you listed that are guilty of a federal crime should absolutely be punished in accordance with federal law. Are you actually suggesting all crimes uncovered during the course of the investigation should go unpunished if they are unrelated to Russia collusion? Wow, I see you're a real supporter of the rule of law. Sorry, Judy, it doesn't work that way.

As for any Democrat guilty of a crime, you're going under the assumption that there is no current investigation on any of them. To that I say, I'm sorry the DOJ doesn't feel it necessary to inform the public of any ongoing investigations. Investigations are not made public for a reason. Hmm, and I figured you would understand that ... Jeff Sessions does!

LOL!! The DOJ is not supposed to target any political group, Trump supporters, Hillary supporters, Republicans, Democrats, or anyone else. Political activity is PROTECTED by the First Amendment and it's the responsibility of the US Department of Justice to uphold that constitutional right, not put targets on the backs of Americans who voted for and/or worked for a candidate or President the DOJ doesn't like.

This is pretty basic stuff, MW, but I'm actually not surprised you don't get it.

It's you that don't get it. Nobody is exempt from the long arm of the law ... doesn't matter if you're Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton or Tarzan.

So you are for unlimited investigations going on continually? I'm sure those could find something in everybody's past to prosecute for. In a trial, you are only allowed to question a witness withing a "scope". That scope is established by previous testimony. Even if the court finds evidence of another crime, it can only refer that for separate investigation.

I see a red flag in these immunity's being given out like candy. An immunity is granted if you have committed a crime or may have committed a crime. So in effect, they are letting criminals escape prosecution for the crime they committed. There may be a usefulness when there is a particular heinous crime that is a major threat to the public. But these appear to be pure government extortion. There seems to be only one objective of these, and that is to get them to implicate someone else.

What you are saying is that

Trump supporters
Hillary supporters
Republicans
Democrats

(that includes most everyone in the United States)

are immune from prosecution from crime because political activity is protected

So they can commit murder, theft, DUI, etc and be protected.

Murder, theft, DUI are not political activities. Political activity is voting, campaigning, supporting political candidates, working for political candidates, etc. That is political activity protected by the First Amendment.

It's troubling that you and MW do not know what political activity is or that it's protected by the First Amendment.

Actually everybody is exempt from the long arm of the law until a CRIME has been committed.
