Subject: Re: Guilty on all counts
Surely all the leading Democratic politicians have committed crimes, right?

Welp, let's see.

*Biden, while Vice President and in-between his Vice Presidency and now clearly engaged in influence peddling through his son. Covered that here.
*Hillary! did the same thing that Trump was just convicted for by routing campaign money (not her own) through Perkins Coie. Then there's her illegal server from which she deleted evidence (another crime) as well as allowing access to non-cleared folks (more crimes). She was never charged for any of it.
*Bill Clinton flew on the Lolita Express and likely had inappropriate contact with underage girls. Somehow that series of crimes gets memory holed.

I could go on. That's off the top of my head. An interesting retroactive crime would be to ban Congressional insider trading and then go get Nancy Pelosi.

You might be right when you say no kind of Pandora's box has been opened because the GOP lacks the kind of ruthlessness that the democrats have in terms of willingness to shatter norms to get and maintain power.
