The idea that Republicans should get away with criminality, corruption, and treason, simply because they whine loudly that they are getting picked on is ridiculous. We have laws on the books, if you break them, you get prosecuted, no matter who you vote for. Democrat Robert Menendez got prosecuted and found guilty last year, and not one Democrat said that it was unfair.
The conservative mindset seems to be “What’s good for me right now?”. The law is good when it hurts their enemies, and it’s unfair when it hurts them. A policy is good when it benefits them, and bad when it benefits someone they don’t like. They are essentially toddlers. We should treat their ideas as seriously as we’d treat a two year old’s ideas. Yes dear that’s a really interesting idea to replace all the toilets in the building with monster trucks, but we’re not going to do that.
When have I said the opposite? I never said to let anyone get away with any crimes. But you can’t prosecute people for being members of a party, and you certainly can’t investigate everyone in the current admin without it looking like political persecution. It also sets the stage for presidents to fall into the habit that old papa Joe set of pardoning everyone, meaning now admins have carte blanche to break the law. I fully expect Trump to do it but the next president is one that will need to break these vicious cycles and also give up a lot of their power lest we continue down the path to real tyranny.
No, Dems should use their power to indict and prosecute people for actual crimes that they have committed. Political affiliation is irrelevant.
Of course. Same as any government, that’s their job after all.
