Oh, wait, he's one of the untouchables. How about we go after Pelosi for insider trading? Oh wait, untouchable. How about we go after Swallwell (or however you spell his name) for sleeping with the Chinese Spy Fang Fang and spilling secrets over pillow talk. Nope, don't want to look at that, he has a D after his name. The list goes on and on....

Two days in a row, your posts are following Hannity talking points.

Hunter did not "falsify" a document.  And you need to prove "insider trading" before you can go after it.

I have to keep repeating myself--Fox allegations are not in themselves proof of wrong doing. Hannity et al., like Trump use these false equivocations, coupled with talk of "liberal elites" and "globalists," to feed grievance they can monetize in various ways, from campaign fundraising to attracting advertisers. "One law for the Clintons, another for the rest of us" emerged as a grievance point back in the '90s as the Clinton's "got away" with murders and other crimes no one could link to them. That was also one root of current conspiracy claims that somehow law enforcement and the FBI "work for" Dem politicians and that's why none of these BS allegations result in indictments, much less jail time.

Common RW tactic--treat allegations as the equivalent of evidence concrete enough to ground a court case. E.g. Hannity: "We have stacks of fraud 'testimony' on my desk!!"--which somehow never make it to court, but drive suspicion that Dems must be controlling all those Trump-appointed judges who snort at these mounds of "evidence."

Common RW tactic #2--saturate the airwaves with bogus Dem allegations and then undermine the authority and credibility of law enforcement and courts when they don't act on gossip. Benghazi!! Two track system of justice.

Common RW tactic #3--When your guy is investigated, and the testimony and documentary evidence are piling up, call it a "witch hunt!" regardless of evidence.

NOTHING Hilary or Biden did compares to illegally taking 25 boxes of records from the WH and then be still arguing with the National Archives about what and where and whether you are keeping them.  Nor does it compare to discussing classified documents open on a table with Japanese diplomats as restaurant patrons all around snap photos, or giving your unqualified child "advisers" top secret clearance, or inviting the Russian ambassador and Russian press into the Oval Office to share top secret classified info entrusted to us by our allies--while keeping out the US press and much concerned presidential handlers.
