      The complete absence of horrified reaction at the raid on Rudy Giuliani's apartment means that we've quietly abandoned four years of pretending there's a norm against federal investigations of the president's political opponents.

      Honestly, a little torn. This framing is sound -- some ppl did talk as though any such prosecutions were per se wrong. But how big a "we" does that capture? That broadest position seems naïve.

      There was a lot of that talk around investigating Hillary. It was all a made-up standard.

          This is nonsense. There *were* evidence-based investigations into Secretary Clinton. The standard is that no one is investigated simply for who they are. Rudy's investigation, beginning under Barr, related to things he did, not who he was.

          Aside from Benghazi, Barr launched his own investigation, which ended with not even a whimper

          The Benghazi hearings were admitted to be for show by Kevin McCarthy.

          I’ll help, Dan: Hillary Clinton didn’t break the law, and Rudy Giuliani did. That’s why it’s bad to prosecute one and good to prosecute the other. Does that clear things up for you?

          They want to try so hard to make this about something more than it actually is. Criminals, regardless of political party, need to face consequences. This investigation started when Trump was in office. Barr did everything he could to slow it down - that should be the focus here.

          "There's no way to tell if an investigation is complete laughable bullshit, anyone trying to distinguish between two different investigations is operating in bad faith and I am very smart to think this."

          You are inventing a standard that didn’t exist and then applying that made-up standard in bad faith. Which is kinda your thing.
