What?


Someone's son can be legally working for a foreign country even though it could be unethical.

One can hire someone to dig up dirt on someone, but you can't use the justice department to do it for your own personal gain.

A bribe is illegal, but certain political donations aren't that far from being bribes, but they sure can be unethical.

You just explained Hunter Biden, Obama spying on Trump, and the Clinton Foundation.

ButtCrack and Bernie are tied at 26%,
Bernie leads in popular votes. Biden
is at zero. Biden said last night Iowa
was a 'punch in the gut'. He knows,
he's been in politics for 50 years.
He knows you don't get 0 delgates
in Iowa and win the primaries.

Oh good. Then you're not pretending you get to equate unethical behavior with illegal behavior. They're both bad, but one is actually prosecutable.

They openly fight against the integrity of elections while accusing others of inviting foreign interference in elections even while they themselves are paying foreigners to help them gather dirt on opponents.


You could just as well as say, I commit illegal offenses against my neighbor, because he commits unethical offenses against me. You're the one who goes to jail, or gets charged. You don't get to justify unethical actions will justify illegal actions. Try it before a judge and see what happens.

An indictment is required for a crime? When did this happen?
