His fellow Republicans have no wish to go down THAT road….
For several reasons….
Why?
In THIS country we do NOT go after former President’s ….
That will apply even for Trump…
As I have pointed in this blog…
Barack Obama is WAY more popular than Donald Trump…
Going after him might make Trump happy but would only HELP the Joe Biden and other Democrats…

The president also retweeted a photo of himself with the caption: “Hope you had fun investigating me. Now it’s my turn.” And he retweeted a supporter’s call for former top FBI and Justice Department officials to be imprisoned.
When asked Monday what crime Obama allegedly committed, Trump replied: “You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody, all you have to do is read the newspapers.”….
