Summary
Rachel Maddow Hypocritically Calls Trump DOJ Dystopian While IGNORING Democrat Abuses Of Power. On Her Show Rachel Maddow suggested that Donald Trump and Bill Barr would use the power of the DOJ to go after their Democratic opponents just before the november 2020 election.
She called it dystopian over the top tyranny stuff while completely ignoring Crossfire Hurricane, the investigation into the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Democrats have a habit of blaming Trump for the exact things they have done. The entire impeachment was based on Trump supposedly digging up dirt on joe Biden. They said investigating a presidential candidate was an abuse of power yet Obama did the exact same thing.
Perhaps Maddow is just preempting her audience for when the real investigations into Biden and crony Democrats begins, that way she can say "see! told you so! In reality perhaps some investigations are duly needed right now. Hopefully the Republicans actually do something.

| 0:00.0 | Democrats and members of the media establishment have a habit of accusing Trump of doing things |
| 0:05.4 | that they themselves have already done or actually do as well. |
| 0:09.8 | The latest iteration is Rachel Maddow warning of a dystopian over the top road to tyranny |
| 0:16.1 | if Donald Trump potentially investigates his democratic opponents. |
| 0:20.8 | Because I couldn't imagine a circumstance where an administration would launch an investigation |
| 0:26.4 | into a political candidate, could I? |
| 0:28.2 | Oh, how about Crossfire Hurricane when the Obama administration investigated Trump's campaign? |
| 0:34.2 | What I find so funny about this is that it's not just the fact that they did the investigation |
| 0:39.6 | into Trump's campaign in 2016 and now Rachel Maddow's freaking out about it, |
| 0:43.3 | but that Donald Trump was accused of abusive power and actually impeached because they argued |
| 0:49.9 | that investigating a political rival or a potential political candidate was abuse of power, |
| 0:54.8 | it was crossing the line because even that was complete and total hypocrisy because the Obama |
| 1:00.6 | administration was was party to the same exact thing. And now we see it in Donald Trump's |
| 1:06.8 | pardoning and clemency of certain key individuals that were just like Rod Blagoi of it, for instance, |
| 1:12.0 | I got a lot to say about that or that Bill Barr wants an independent review of many of these |
| 1:17.0 | prosecutions in the Russia investigation. And now they're all saying it's again, abuse of power. |
| 1:21.6 | They're calling for barter resign. They're saying Trump is on a cleaning, you know, he's cleaning |
| 1:26.1 | house. He's going on a abuse of power. He's becoming unstoppable. But listen, man, I'm not here |
| 1:31.8 | to play politics. How am I supposed to condemn or criticize Donald Trump for doing what Democrats did |
| 1:38.2 | first? And doesn't make sense. So while sure maybe it's an abuse of power, how are you going to |
| 1:43.2 | impeach somebody and criticize somebody? But first of all, before he's actually done anything, |
