If Whitewater was fair game, then Trump's old finances are certainly fair game.

30. Some irony in the title of the original post.

"If Whitewater was fair game, then Trump's old finances are certainly fair game."

At the time, Democrats protested vigorously and at great length that Whitewater was most certainly not fair game. Now we are saying that it was fair game so that we can use it as justification in our war against an elected president, because we are not the ones who elected that president. Just as Republicans invoked a war against an elected president because they were not the ones who elected that president.

Note I said "we." I am a Democrat, vote Democrat, including Clinton and Obama twice. I also have a brain that is capable of logic and know how to use it. If we want to conduct investigations against Trump that's fine, but don't try to convince me that whatever the Republicans did justifies what we do. A bank robber can't say that he's justified in robbing a bank because John Dillinger did it.

I know, I know: we are correcting an election corrupted by Russians, James Comey, "self hating white women," the electoral college which is designed to promote slavery and all of that. Get over it. The election was held in accordance with the procedure described in our constitution, and no direct evidence of rigging has ever been offered other than that the Democratic primary election was rigged.

I was disgusted by the endless justifications of something Obama did by claiming that "Bush did it first," and I'm disgusted with the justification of what we do against Trump being justified by "Republicans did it to Clinton." We're not supposed to be like Republicans. We're supposed to be better than Republicans. When people say there is no difference between the two parties, we're not supposed to do things that prove them correct.
