Able to retire after making a paltry $132,000 per hour for a company he did not build. Poor fellow, I hope he is able to continue the living the life he's grown accustomed to and doesn't have to make too many sacrifices in retirement.

Is lawfare sanctioned by the American people? Jack Smith was once appointed to charge Trump just three days after he announced his campaign. Now Trump has assigned Lindsey Halligan to charge DOJ officials who feel the shoe is not so comfortable on the other foot. Is one right? Are neither?
