It's too easy to fall back on "both sides are at fault." Look at the timing of Trump's elections in 2016 and 2024. A lot of very wealthy people HAD to make this go away at exactly those points.

If Hillary Clinton had taken office in January 2017 I am certain that her DOJ would have continued to pursue this investigation that Obama began. That's why very wealthy people made sure she lost.
