Dems know this is a hot button issue with us. They're trying to make the case against POTUS with it. How?
Mueller didn't charge POTUS with obstruction. So we gloated. Now they get prosecutors not the charge Smollett in a crime that by all evidence he should be charged with. Just as they "think" that POTUS should be charged given all the "evidence" (bullshit) against him.
This is politics pure and simple.
