OK, I think I have figured out how Republicans have managed to square the circle of being outraged that the Justice Department investigated Donald Trump while he was running for President, while having the Justice Department investigate whoever runs against him.
It is simple. Criminal investigations are fine because they are public knowledge and investigation of past conduct. Counter intelligence investigations, by contrast, are secret and prospective and are therefore a big no-no.
Of course, given that counter intelligence investigations are secret, there is really no way of knowing whether the Trump Administration is launching one at any time against its opponents.
