But we'll hear from his supporters that ALL politicians lie, this is a civil matter, no laws were broken, etc...

They just don't care.  They "know" all the things Hillary Clinton "did"...but can completely ignore anything Trump is "accused" of doing.

It's sad.  And I have friends doing it and it bothers the heck out of me.

That's why I say that Trump support is not an indication of pragmatic choice, based on the usual political calculations voters make about candidates.

It is about identity. Reminds me of some black Americans who cheered when OJ got off, even though they believed he was guilty. For them it was always about the whole system and "getting back" for past injustice.
