It was histrorically bad corruption and abuse of power, honestly. I mean, lots and lots of people curated lists. Here's a quick one from the weeks before the 2020 election:

Now I know you'll want to argue specifics for every element and that the source is partisan or suspect, etc... and I'm not going to get involved. But suffice it to say that any one of those items would have been enough to sink any other administration. It's the authoritarian tilt of the modern GOP that led it to green light all this, and that is only going to get worse with a more ambitious candidate.
- noitpmeder 3y agoNever seen this list before... But holy cow, it's actually insane when you compile it all like that. This election cycle is going to be madness.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoNo, it was the same shit in another term. The only reason people noticed or cared was because the press hated Trump with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, so they actually did their jobs and held his feet to the fire (unlike with Obama).
- ajross 3y agoAs stated, I'm not going to argue specifics and really don't think anyone should try. But I will say that if you want to argue against a list like this, posting a similar one from a similarly non-partisan source about your target administration might be a better technique than invoking conspiracies about the media (which CREW is not, btw).
