It also sucks that people think that it is seemingly perfectly appropriate, or justified, that we actually have a "I have a **** ton of these things, took them from the Office of the President, and in defense of that act I am saying I Yoda mind meld these things to non-classified".

For a law and order party that it once was, the Republicans have pretty much degenerated into the 'justify this action at any cost'.

And further race to justify the actions of figuratively pissing on a subpoena, lying in a sworn letter to the Feds, and a whole host of other stuff.

I would be able to give quarter to a shitbird at the top doing it, with the expectation that the party itself would eventually say -- hey, no more.

The Repubs did it with Nixon. This crop simply races to justify and doing so implicitly condones this type of garbage. You see it in this thread in spades, and in the MaL thread even more so.

Yeah, how fing dare that I want to see the law upheld even to a holder of the highest office. Lolz.

I guess the norm now has to be the GAO comes in election night and secures everything to keep that person from going out the door with it. I can take a cretin who is rude, and foul mouthed. I cant take a cretin that pulls the **** that Trump has with the documents, and simply lies and obstructs all the way through. And, I really cannot understand why whom I would assume would be upstanding people literally go out of their way to justify and condone this behavior.
