Why This Matters
⚖️ Your Justice Department becomes a personal revenge tool:
Presidents can weaponize federal prosecutors to investigate political enemies and grievances
🗳️ Election denial gets official government backing:
When presidents use federal resources to "investigate" elections they lost, it undermines trust in all future elections
💰 Taxpayer money for personal vendettas:
Special prosecutor investigations cost millions while real priorities like infrastructure and healthcare get ignored
🏛️ Democracy's foundation cracks:
If presidents refuse to accept election results even after winning the next one, the peaceful transfer of power becomes meaningless
