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.

And Comey's original investigation of Hillary began under Obama. Face it, there was never such a norm.https://twitter.com/HeathMayo/status/1387883518143909889 …

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 …

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 …

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?

That is exactly his argument.
