    A former House Representative, a Democrat, has been indicted on federal felony charges.

    How is this possible? I’ve been reading on this board that the DOJ and FBI are politicized and weaponized against Republicans.

    How could such corrupt organizations bring charges against a Democrat?

    Oh, I know! They aren’t corrupt. They aren’t weaponized. They aren’t politicized. They are just doing their job. Investigating crimes regardless of whether they have a political connection or not; regardless of which party is involved if the target is a politician.

    So in liberal land, a democrat being arrested shows they are transparent?

    Can't make this **** up, thanks for the laugh this morning.

    A Democrat being indicted is quite inconsistent with the message that trumpists have been spreading, which is that the DOJ / FBI are weaponized and politicized.

    Indicted and convicted are two different things.

    Indeed.
    A search warrant and indicted are also two different things.

    Trump has been neither and you still harp on about mistreatment.

    Let me know when a former Democratic President takes Top Secret information from the White House and leaves it lying around in his basement.

    When they violate the Espionage Act and take the property of the American people.

    As o the OP, he did the crime he'll do the time, it's a Rule of Law thing.

    Yep absolutely.
    Here’s the thing. Some people say what you said.
    Other people say that they support the FBI and DOJ pursuing criminal charges against Democrats, but NOT Republicans.

    Poor dems, democrat criminals must be so jealous that nobody calls their arrests a conspiracy or tries to kill FBI agents over it.

    Abuse of power and using our justice system for political purposes does not mean that they exclusively target one party.

    Indicted is a step further than merely searched by the FBI, yet look at all the howling we've heard so far about that.

    You people have lost touch with reality when you defend a violent assault on our government and its chief instigator over an anti-democratic, anti-American, wholly unpatriotic lie about the last election, but act like the rule of law is under attack when that same POS has his place searched to recover highly sensitive documents that he had no right to take home with him and place at grave risk of being compromised by Chinese, Russian, Iranian, North Korean or other hostile agents.
