Fascist dictators just disappear people and I don't recall Hitler ever using a grand jury in Germany back in the day.

Or maybe we'd like to admit that the hyperbole around Trump is a bit overblown?

I don't think anyone has said that Trump has already turned the country into just as fascist a nation-state as late Hitler. The concerns are that he's pushing us down the road that fascists trod as they were turning their counties from free democracies to fascist states. Most fascists came to power within existing legal systems, and accumulated power by gradually bending and breaking the guardrails before reaching the totalitarian state endgame.

In this thread, the argument was that Trump can't be weaponizing the DOJ because Clinton isn't in jail. But that doesn't logically hold, because it's certainly possible to weaponize law enforcement against your enemies within the black-letter law constraints that exist today. It simply requires changing long-standing norms of how the law enforcement offices interact with the political offices and abandoning prosecutorial ethics and standards.
