Ben Sasse seems to be the only non-retiring Republican congressperson with brains and balls enough to state the obvious and push back on clearly undemocratic declarations and actions by the Executive branch. Good on him.
“The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice – one for the majority party and one for the minority party," Sasse responded in a statement.
"These two men have been charged with crimes because of evidence, not because of who the President was when the investigations began," he continued.
"Instead of commenting on ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the job of the President of the United States is to defend the Constitution and protect the impartial administration of justice." http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/40484...-states-is
