President Trump only had to state the truth, this was a politically-motivated lynching by Obama holdovers bending the law and procedures at the DOJ, a first year law student could see that.
The real question is where, oh where, is Jeffy Sessions, can't he put an end to the Obama DOJ?
As to forever-Hillary supporter, Speaker Paul Ryan, picking on president Trump for pardoning Arpaio, Paul Ryan needs to choke on a bag of dicks and come out the closet and admit he is a Democrat.
If the only argument he has is "but Obama did worse", then he has no argument at all. He's a child throwing a temper tantrum.
But if he has honest, documentable, reasons, then present those reasons and let the world agree or disagree as they see fit. Stop comparing yourself to your predecessors and be your own man.
