He had a tawdry affair with an intern and lied to the Congress and his wife about it.I don’t recall any cover up scheme that involved anyone else.
My point of bringing it up that way is there are a couple of things that are really distasteful (IMO of course) about the Republican defense of Trump. the main one being that Trump is a habitual liar. He has also been proven to have paid off a porn star and a former playboy bunny to shush affairs that he had, one while his wife was pregnant. Trump get a totally free pass for a mountain of lies and a life of immoral activities. He defrauded many thousands of people with Trump University, yet he gets a total pass, as if it didn’t happen. His defense is that the judge was a Mexican, that has to be the reason since he was trying to build a wall to Mexico. Does that sound plausible to you? I know you’re an LE and they are as a rule cynical of alibis. Why not this one?
In one case, Republicans are high and mighty. In the other case, that behavior is totally ignored. Nobody has ever had an explanation for that, that I can say holds water. The most common one is that he’s not a politician, he’s a businessman. I’ve known a lot of businessmen, and the one Trump reminds me the most of is Bernie Ebbers. Ebbers has many many things in common with Trump. Narcissicism, infidelity, fraud, and a total lack of empathy to name a few very obvious ones.
So that’s why I compared the two liars: in order to pointout that if you believe it was right to impeach Clinton for lying to Congress and his wife about getting blow jobs in the Oval Office, then you have zero right, again in my opinion, to criticize the impeachment of this lying asshole.
Again, not saying you are wrong buddy, just stating my own two cents.
