IT’S (D)IFFERENT NOW BECAUSE REASONS: Washington Post Suddenly Decides Prosecuting Political Enemies is a Bad Idea. “After eight years of cheering on Trump lawfare as the saving of the republic, the Washington Post has suddenly decided that prosecuting your political opponents is a bad idea. Much like the sudden calls for unity after Butler and Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there’s every reason to be skeptical of these rapid and rapidly passing revelations. But it does show what it takes to even begin to break through the fanatical mindset that led to the Mueller and Jack Smith vendettas.”

UPDATE:
Obviously the infrequency of prosecutions does not create an immunity from prosecution. But the relevant standard is whether Democrats would prosecute a Republican who they found had committed this type of fraud. And the answer to this is also obvious. https://t.co/S0Bk1LJPcF

And from the replies: “The current admin has already found enough alleged infractions among its top political opponents that one suspects the base rate is pretty high and nobody’s looked.”
Yep.
