We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.
The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

Pat Buchanan was at the forefront of this. He argued Republicans had failed by focusing too much on economics and needed to combat the left on “its chosen battleground: the politics of class, culture, religion, and race.” His 1992 presidential run (and convention speech) was premised on that theory.
