What bothers me, and I think what bothers most people, is the double-standard.

President Trump was under attack by the FBI under James Comey and the Justice Department, and then he had to live with a special counsel for two years, and then they came up with exactly nothing.

President Biden, and Hillary Clinton, and others seem to get off scot-free… That's very troubling, I think, to a lot of people.
