"Go ahead; investigate me. I'm not hiding or denying anything, unlike Donald Trump and Roy Moore." I think he must be pretty confident that this incident was a one-off thing and they won't find anything else. And they'll look like hypocritical assholes for defending Trump and Moore for much worse behavior.

I read that as "Investigate me, I have nothing to hide". Neither herr drumpf nor Moore have opened themselves to such scrutiny.

Still, I'm disappointed.

rethugs will investigate only Democrats. They leave their own alone.

Democrats investigate any like crime, corruption, wrong-doing, and the like, no matter the political leaning of the person or people in question.
