      Regardless, she did not commit a crime. They do not need to do an investigation unless there is evidence of a crime. This is a smear with zero evidence made up by some conservative blogger.

          A judge they had in their pocket signed off on persecuting one of Trump’s political enemies. Sure, ok.
          If there were real evidence, this would’ve happened years ago when she were first running for office. It didn’t because this is made up bullshit.

            Problem being that if the Justice system can be corrupted like this then the whole system is failed and no warrant should be valid.

              Yeah you already said this. That doesn’t change the fact that Omar’s did nothing wrong

                So as a society what do we do if warrants cannot be trusted and in general law enforcement is just a game of who does the government want to go after? You cannot have an Omar did nothing wrong and didn’t deserve this in the same society where any warrant is considered “valid.”

                  Well yes, her warrant should not be valid, and there should be an investigation into the motivations behind it’s issuance. That goes without saying.
                  This still doesn’t change the fact that just because her warrant is politically motivated that doesn’t mean suddenly every warrant is no longer valid.

                    It brings every warrant into question. It isn’t that some wouldn’t be valid in a healthy system but that if the system is so critically flawed that a warrant can be issued based on nothing as you assert, then the warrant process is by definition a fishing expedition that can be led by the government for any reason. That is problematic to the degree that the system as is should not be accepted even if the known “bad apples” are out.
