    Obama literally ordered the assassination of Osama Bin Ladin and no one is trying to persecute him for murder, so I think Trump is 100% correct in his thought process.

      Thanks for pointing out to us that you’re unable to differentiate the distinctions between mass murdering terrorists and political rivals.

      Or for that matter, the difference between persecution and prosecution.

        Seems to me that’s a distinction without a difference in their minds
