While I am 100% opposed to the regime’s thorough weaponization of DOJ, I have a hard time feeling bad for the guy who probably tipped the election to Trump in 2016 with his editorializing on Her Emails.

It's well past time for principled senators to call for the impeachment of the six "Justices" who have made a mockery of their duty.
