So is this a criminal president receiving justice, or a politically motivated prosecution?

Not just from Libya, he met & received money from the brother in law of the Libyan dictator Muhamar Kadhaffi

The brother in law personally orchestrated the crashe of a civilian airliner, killing 170 passengers
