As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

Presidents get too much credit when the American economy is strong & too much blame when it isn’t. But in the case of farmers who can’t sell crops, Trump clearly gets 100% of the blame. Rare when you can point to economic disaster in a sector directly attributable to a president.

Q: Did the president ask the DOJ to close the Homan investigation and does he have to return the $50,000
LEAVITT: Mr. Homan never took the $50,000, so you should get your facts straight ... you had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters
