Why not?

It is now our system. Everything is based on precedent.

You mean like the IRS denying tax exempt status of conservative get out the vote campaigns to influence an election? Or using the FBI to fabricate a Russian collusion story to influence an election?

There would probably the same rioting, fires and looting as we saw the day Obama got elected.
Those liberals are just the scum of the earth, aren't they? No matter what the reality or hypothetical, you just know they're doing the wrong thing. The poopyfaces!
Know what we did see before and after Obama got elected? Years and years of not-liberals accusing him lying about his birthplace, lying about his religion, being racist against white people, hating America, wanting to destroy America (trying to as well), using global warming to transfer wealth to third world countries and several more boatloads of insane reactionary ****. Joke all you like, but...just no.
Now, if wrongdoing occurred, it should be addressed. But it'd be nice if you lot spoke up about FISA abuses 33,000+ warrants ago rather than just the one time one lead to discovery that your dear leader was naughty. It'd also be nice if, assuming there is wrongdoing shown, if your lot do NOT immediately try using the Carter Page FISA warrant to claim either that nothing happened or that it's OK, or worse try to spin it towards the completely unrelated Ukraine thing.
Won't hold my breath though.
Well, the birthers and religion were pretty much a fringe thing but racism, hating America, etc. that was pretty legit and, frankly, it's still going on with his fan base.
Justice IG to testify next month on alleged 2016 surveillance abuse | TheHill
Granted, this would not be the first scheduled testimony that didn't take place if it falls apart but it does give an indication that some of this 2016 stuff will finally get a proper airing.
My guess, for the record, is that Horowitz will make it clear that Trump actually started the investigation into himself as part of a scheme hatched with Putin to discredit Clinton and Schiff. I predict that 15 minutes after this hearing happens we'll see CNN announce that it has a highly placed anonymous source that will release all the documentation proving that Trump set himself up for the sole purpose of promoting his brand internationally.
Actually, it will be kind of interesting to see what comes of this. There was a good bit of political game playing when the initial FISA was released and accusations flew from both sides of the aisle so it will be entertaining to get a third party perspective regarding what actually went on.
A talking head was saying it’s ~ 1000 pages, due out ~12/11 or so they say. You can be sure that ain’t 1000 letters of commendation. AND that is just DoJ.
This explains the faux impeachment campaign strategy.
Is that "based on precedent" or "based on president?"
