3. Their standard for prosecuting: "it doesn't seem right"

But G.A. Massucco-LaTaif, who was recently named chief of the criminal division of the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C., said at the March 3 hearing that Justice Department lawyers “do not know at this time” what evidence there is of fraud or criminal misconduct, arguing only that the project was $1.2 billion over budget and that “it doesn’t seem right.”

“There are 1.2 billion reasons for us to look into it,” Massucco-LaTaif told Chief U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg.

That's the chief of the criminal division of the U.S. attorney’s office in D.C.? He makes My Cousin Vinnie look like Thurgood Marshall. If Republicans had been prosecuted the moment something "didn't seem right", every Trump cabinet member and most of them in Congress would be in court right now. This is the definition of 'lawfare'.
