      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 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 …

      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 …

          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 …

          Remind how many times Biden lead a chant to lock up Rudy? There is a norm. It's a good one, but isn't a grant of immunity for everyone in the presidents inner circle.

          You aren't above the rule of law because the President is of a different party. Democracy is in worse danger when a partisan DoJ is brazenly protecting allies, which is the only reason this has taken long enough to even be occurring during Biden's presidency.

          Does the fact that there seems to be an enormous amount of evidence that Rudy committed real crimes and that there was at the very least little evidence of serious crime when Trump said “lock her up” not enter into the equation? This unbelievably disingenuous on your part.

          The whole point of having an Attorney General is to follow the law and keep DOJ away from the influence of the White House. That's why Trump asking to meet the head of SDNY Trump putting pressure on AG Sessions to quit Trump's relationship with Barr was horrifying.

          1. The investigation began during the prior administration. 2. There is no indication of political motive by the current administration. 3. Giuliani aided and abetted criminality by the prior president.
