It really shouldn’t be about party. If he violated laws then he needs to be held accountable. There is no place in government for people who violate the public trust in the institutions of government.

I’ll look for this comment the next time I see an article about a republican. Spoiler alert, it won’t be there.

Ummm, that’s the exact thing I say about all politicians. Hold them to a high standard and hold them accountable when they fall short. Are you a troll?

Are you saying that Democrats don't call for Republican politicians who break the law to be punished?

Remember that AG in S Dakota that killed a pedestrian while driving his car and using his phone to check emails? His name is South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg. He was impeached and tossed out of his office. It's not about party, it's about doing the right thing.

That said, it's remarkably easy to say "of course they did it, since otherwise our party would look bad." Just like you said about the PPH making hay for some Democrat. Stop saying shit like that, stop guessing motives. Stop using a reporter's or editor's decision in phrasing to justify YOUR bias. Just be the person who starts with "Good, they deserved it" and let it go with that. That is what you are hearing a bunch of people doing in this thread, and yet you persist in "I'll believe it when I see it." It's you. You are the problem.

What won’t be there is Republican leadership and Republican voters wanting to hold someone with an R next to their name accountable.
