    You’d think they would be a fan of the people that caught Hunter Biden in a crime…

    Do you think they could find out other people were committing similar crimes? And that those people are also rich? Maybe elected officials even? Hmm…

      They aren’t interested in crime. They aren’t interested in law. They aren’t interested in policy. They are obsessed with punishment.

        They’re obsessed with their own power and money imo. Prisons make money, and keep the proles in line using fear. That’s the whole reason for the drug war - Nixon etc wanted to harm their political enemies, as in leftists and minorities, while also grifting money from the government and increasing authoritarianism.

      you don’t understand, after they gut the irs funding they’ll replace all the management positions with politically chosen replacements, then force investigations to solely target their political rivals. No resources left to investigate their buddies.

      That’s the strategy now. All competitors are ‘crooks’.
