Bunch of nothingburgers in the OP. I hate Trump but your list is about as weak as Whitewater, the numerous sexual allegations against Bill, and Hillary's email server. You often argue that we shouldn't have double standards in politics, but then you bring up sexual assault allegations and The Logan Act.
Lol.
How are things that Trump has admitted to, and civil violations that Trump has had to make restitution for, "nothingburgers?" Illegal acts are illegal acts. In a political environment where people often level (hysterical) charges against someone that are based on nothing or little more than nothing, and that often amount to nothing, it would be absolutely nonsensical (not to mention irresponsible) not to hold actual elected officials (which Trump is now) responsible if they've done things that
are actually illegal. We don't need to make excuses for them on the basis that most of their violations are civil and not criminal, on the basis that either 1) most observers are too stupid to know that the difference between those two things (or even that those classifications exist), or 2) because the individual has enough money to buy their way out of their crimes.
Do you legitimately think that the multitude of sexual assault accusations against Trump (including by his own ex-wife), that also happen to match
his own public testimony and a lifestyle that was meticulously chronicled in tabloids for
decades are without merit?
