Well, it's a staggering political liability for them because it exposes them as being the party of the richest, most powerful people in the country who think that they are above the law, just like Donald Trump believes that he's above the law.
And that is really the
the signature identifying criterion of their party.
We've got one party which is saying the government's got to be an instrument for the common good for everybody.
We've got to stand up for truth and justice in the justice system.
We've got to stand with victims.
And another party which says that the government is an instrument for the corrupt self-enrichment of the guy who gets in and the protection of the crimes of the most powerful people in the country.
So that is a pretty dramatic contrast.
But on our side, we have said from the beginning,
Let the chips fall where they may.
Whoever is involved in child sex trafficking or rape or abuse should be held to account, regardless of their political party.
That is something you will never hear the Republicans say, with the honorable exception of Thomas Massey and a handful of others.
They will not say that because they are involved principally in protecting Donald Trump.
And they understand he's, you know, a 34-count convicted felon, twice impeached.
He's utterly incorrigible in
and lawless.
And so they're just doing whatever they can to participate in this cover-up.
Well, I certainly hope so.
I mean, you can't completely count on the Roberts courts, but, you know, there were 60 federal and state courts in 2020 who rejected every one of Donald Trump's fraudulent claims of electoral corruption and fraud.
He wasn't trying to stop election fraud in 2020.
