In 2016, Donald Trump campaigned on pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton for erasing those 30,000 emails.
Then in 2017, he reneged on that promise:
BIG receipts bomb right here. Trump promised to lock up Hillary! In the end, he gave her awards and admitted – it was all a political scam he was pulling: "That plays great, before the election." pic.twitter.com/1GwQb1DhB7

What happened to that promise? Why did Trump renege?
The fact that Trump backed off from this core campaign promise is a big part of the reason this country and the rule of law is collapsing now.
If Crooked Hillary could get away with violating federal law and dishonoring the American public, what would stop other Democrats from doing the same thing?
The Democrat Party does not hold back from persecuting their political enemies via trumped-up charges (pun intended). Trump needed to go after Hillary Clinton.
And he didn’t.
He didn’t lock her up, and now they are seeking to lock him up.
