After the Trump era ends, a lot of people like this are going to try and claim they acted honorably because they are heroes in their own minds. They didn’t and aren’t.
The Department of Justice will ignore the President's threats against his political opponents, as it has in the past, because prosecutors who take an oath to support and defend the Constitution must uphold the rule of law.
