There are hundreds of thousands of regulations carrying criminal penalties. If a political party is determined to imprison an opponent, it will find a law they’ve technically violated. In Trump’s case, they used an obscure accounting rule — one so trivial that even prominent Democratic supporters acknowledged it was an inappropriate basis for prosecution.

Hillary Clinton used a private email server while serving as Secretary of State, and in 2014, her staff deleted 31,000 emails they labeled personal to prevent them from being scrutinized in an impending investigation. You don't think that if Hillary had been a Republican and if the Democrats were determined to prosecute her, they couldn't have found some law that she broke and prosecuted her on it?

Wait. What do you think about Hegseth's signal and atlantic reporter issue? That is wildly worse and where is the court case that absolutely should be happening?

That's nothing. Compare that to deleting 30,000 emails to avoid them being scrutinized in an investigation.

You think Hegseth's use of Signal is nothing. Gotcha. Rules for thee but not for me.

I think using an open source encrypted communication app is no big deal compared to what Hillary Clinton did.

The Democratic Party thinks that what Hillary Clinton did was no big deal. Rules for thee, but not for me.
