I mean, think about
When you cultivate politicians, you might want something in return for that.
The thing though that with the politics of this, Congress has an oversight ability and an ability to subpoena people and to bring people forward and to shine light and to ask people new questions.
Who are Republicans focusing on right now?
But again, the Clintons, Bill and Hillary Clinton, which I'm not even sure what
Hillary Clinton has to do with, again, Bill Clinton's potential issues.
I feel like this is something where she's been dragged through the mud ever since Monica Lewinsky.
And obviously she had nothing to do with anything related to her husband's peccadilloes, as Mara Eliason might say.
But the fact is here, where's the oversight for everybody, right?
And I think that's the difference in what I've been hearing from Democrats is a lot of Democrats are saying, hey, if the Clintons were involved somehow, then let's hear from them.
But if the Trumps were involved or if Trump was involved or other people were involved, bring all of them forward.
Let's shine a light on everything that people did.
Like it's really โ it's very different than a lot of other countries where they've put presidents in jail for issues.
They've brought them up on corruption charges.
And it seems like in America, for whatever reason, we seem to defer to the president, protect them and insulate them somehow like they're of a higher standard and don't need to be brought in front of Congress to โ
you know, not lie under oath and raise their right hand and say that what they're saying is the whole truth punishable by perjury charges.
I mean, it's a very unique thing.
And I think it's something that a lot of Americans, when you poll them, you know, are irritated by.
And that's why you've seen a big populist shift, I think, in this country, whether it's right or left.
Well, number one, I think about how difficult it is to connect the dots on some of these files, to be able to figure out what exactly has been done, wrongdoing, whether or not there's an actual through line there.
