add 2) Well, from an outsider perspective (not a US-citizen):
If A commits a crime (or does something forbidden, not sure if it's a crime in the US) and B does the same, B cannot say that "Well, I did it, but so did A!"... well, they can, but in general the expectation would be that both get punished if there is evidence for both "crimes"
Saying "but everybody does it" should either lead to a change in the law or an execution of said law, meaning persecution.
- mrguyorama 4y agoIf we should "lock her up" for having an unsecured email server, than shouldn't Trump have turned himself in? The point is not that Hilary is innocent (of, like, anything), but that nobody in the republican party gave a rats ass about election integrity or actual rule of law. Every single day of Trump's presidency was evidence of not giving a flying shit about the email server, they were just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it stuck. >expectation would be that both get punished if there is evidence for both "crimes" I freaking wish. Instead I get to watch the pot call the kettle black, and my brother, father, friends, and other relatives enthusiastically nod their heads. Hell, the exact same guy that said "lock her up" about an insecure email server put one in his basement, right next to the giant pile of classified documents that he assured the DOJ several times he didn't have. I want them both in front of a judge. Also this isn't a "both sides are the same" argument because they fucking are not at all. If all politicians were murderers, but some also wanted to put my friend in jail for being gay, I'm not voting for those ones.
