If you threaten people with future prosecutions that is a serious threat. If you are a career civil servant with a kid going to college that is serious. You can't just be the George McFly party taking it in the nuts for 4 years. You have to throw some punches. Bullies don't like to be hit, even if the blows are ineffective they don't like it.

Only the Justice Department can prosecute for federal crimes, and threatening people with prosecutions is in Trump's playbook, not the Democrats.

But they did exactly that for literally 8 years. It. DidnтАЩt. Work.

What you are saying I want and makes me feel good. However, I see no evidence that it is effective.
