Prosecuted him for lying to the FBI? Was the investigation crap? Sure, but the evidence was, he did in fact lie to the investigators. Which is, last I checked, a no-no. They shouldn’t have been running the investigation, but he also should have told it straight. But Trump pardon him for lying, so squared in the end I guess.You're right - it's way, way worse. Look what they did to General Flynn.
Some of the stuff you mentioned about Biden needs to be investigated. A lot of the other stuff you mentioned like Mar a lago, uhhh, evidence is, Trump broke the law. Should that not be investigated? Both sides investigate the crap out of the other when they are in office. If there is real evidence of crimes, that should be pursued and indictments handed down if there is enough evidence that under the constitution and the law a crime was committed.
As an example, Clinton and the Embassy stuff, worthy of investigation, but the Republican committee in the end did not find evidence of criminal acts and made no referrals as such. Unconscionable stuff sure, but not criminal. There is a difference.
Mar a Lago, Trump kept classified documents. A shit load. That’s not remotely in doubt. It appears he kept most of it knowingly, and more evidence is coming out he knew he didn’t declassify it and couldn’t “with a thought”. Especially not after he was out of office. And much evidence points to him refusing to turn it over when he was informed of stuff he had. And some evidence he may have provided access to people without clearance. It keeps looking worse for him. I don’t know if it warrants an indictment and prosecution. Sounds like he broke a bunch of laws. If so, he should be prosecuted.
The hunter Biden shit, I hope he gets prosecuted. If Biden is too corrupt or the people around him too corrupt to do it, then the next administration. Unfortunately selective prosecution is not a crime or unconstitutional. And Biden could pardon him, unfortunately. Hell, Clinton did with his brother and law. Trump did with a lot of people who were lying to cover for him in various investigations (ex. Flynn, Stone), whether those investigations were righteous or not, it was clear they lied to federal agents.
On exactly what you proposed though on charging and throwing the various legislators and AGs in prison, other than in your head, what crimes have they committed? As several have pointed out, unfortunately Bruen DOES leave wiggle room. Sure on its face SB1 and other laws are clearly unconstitutional. Clearly to a reasonable person and violates a Supreme Court decision are different things. And a solid 50+% of Americans probably believe things like SB1 are fine and don’t violate Bruen (maybe more than half of Americans aren’t reasonable people?) They do not violate a decision, because there is wiggle room in Bruen. If you don’t believe that, than prior to Dobbs a LOT of conservative state AGs and legislators should have been charged and convicted in many states over abortion bans they continued trying to pass for decades with many that absolutely violated prior Supreme Court decisions in Casey and Rowe v Wade.
But we don’t actually do that in our democracy.
