      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.

      Nah, there was never any such norm. People just pretended there was while Trump was president.https://twitter.com/AimingHigher11/status/1387887224520327178 …

      It would continue to be the norm if the former president’s comrades weren’t traitors and thieves. The complete absence of horrified reaction is due to the subsequent indictments that have been anticipated for the past few years. Anyone who is surprised has had their eyes closed. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1387879468853866500 …

          This would be a halfway decent point if the investigation hadn’t been launched while Trump was still President... https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/investigation-rudy-giuliani/story?id=77377457 … I mean, this stuff is publicly available, Dan. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1387879468853866500 …

          Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jonathan Chait

          This is closer (though still not what was argued at the time), but ignores the reality that every major federal probe gets signed-off on by political appointees of a president.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1387889081166741507 …

          Dan McLaughlin added,

          Jonathan ChaitVerified account @jonathanchait
          The actual norm is the president *ordering* DOJ to investigate his opponents. Nobody ever said political opponents who committed real crimes could never be investigated by non-partisan figures insulated from partisan pressure. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1387879468853866500 …

          Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Zack Ford

          LOL. Rudy was & is tight with Biden's 2020 opponent. He was hired by Trump to privately investigate Biden's son. He led some of Trump's bogus challenges to Biden's 2020 election. Any serious adult knows Rudy is a political opponent of Joe Biden.https://twitter.com/ZackFord/status/1387895666991579137 …

          I think it's pretty hilarious if anybody in 2021 thinks Rudy Giuliani is capable of offering any kind of political opposition to anybody for anything. #FourSeasonsTotalLandscaping https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1387879468853866500 …

          So what's the argument here? Crimes committed by members of the out of power party must be ignored? Obviously there's a tension between two principles here so maybe we should wait for the process to play out before judging

          There was a norm against White House / politically directed investigations. Being a political figure was never a shield against legit investigation.

          Are you suggesting that Rudy should get a free pass even if there is evidence he committed a crime?
