Chuck Todd is such a douchebag.

He asks when will anyone in government be held accountable, but you know there is only one person he wants to “hold accountable”, and by “standards” that stretch credibility beyond the breaking point. The BAMN left always tries to dishonestly play the fairness and rule of law angle against the right.

Very good interview by Rand. Note that he's one of the few people that get it. Quid pro quo is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for impeachment. Rand points out the double standard and points out the legal requirement to condition aid on clearing a country of corruption without going out on a limb like [MENTION=65299]Swordsmyth[/MENTION] and suggesting that a politically targeted investigation becomes okay. It's a question of fact as to whether the investigation of Biden was politically targeted or not. Personally I think Trump's strategy from the beginning, drunk monkey that he is, was to try to get impeached. There's no other explanation for his openly calling for China to investigate the Bidens. Obviously China isn't going to do Trump any favors. The effect of all of this is that Joe Biden is no longer the Democratic front runner. And the more Trump's enemies in the media simultaneously say, as Jake Tapper did, that what Hunter Biden did looks "swampy" but "he didn't do anything wrong" the less credibility they have going forward. When the trial happens in the Senate, and it will, Republicans will be in charge and this circus will turn into a Biden roasting. Really Trump is in more trouble with the Roger Stone trial than he is with the current impeachment circus.

All that does is condition us to more bad behavior. When do we put a stop to it?

When people just like you stop making excuses for half the bad behavior, and punishing bad behavior ceases to be a partisan activity.

What could smooth the path to Trump's impeachment more than Clinton's indictment? Suddenly the argument that it's not partisan politics, it's the pursuit of justice, would hold water.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to acptulsa again.

Two wrongs may not make a right. There were more than two wrongs. There may have been so many wrongs that precedent has been established.

Q: How many wrongs make a right?

A: Enough to set precedent.
