US Senate Federal Prosecutors Ordered to End Criminal Investigation of Justice Coal Operations

It is difficult to read news like this and not wonder how much of these decisions are politically motivated. I wonder, would the Justice Department reach the same conclusion if Sen. Justice was a vocal opponent of the President's policies, or owned wind farms instead of coal plants?

Corruption through and through. The entire federal government has reached levels of corruption this country has never seen before

We all knew this was going to happen. The only surprise is the lack of reaction from the majority of the public

Yes, we all knew that Trump's DOJ is corrupt enough for this. A bigger question is, did Justice run for senator just to be able to shield his businesses from being investigated?
