      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.

      You seem to be suggesting that criminal behavior by a close ally of a president should be out of bounds for investigation and prosecution. This was started under Trump administration, stalled by Barr, and the stall stopped under Garland.

      I am saying the opposite of that. There never was such a norm.

          I think it's you who ignored what he wrote: “we've quietly abandoned four years of *pretending* there's a norm”

          I love when people say they’re just, you know, making judgment-free observations when they’re obviously not. Should we be upset that these things get investigated? That Rudy morphed into an idiot? That who you are matters not when you crime it up?

          The "norm" is to not use the weight of the US gov't to sabotage your opponent's campaign not to insulate affiliates of the candidate who lost the election, after the election. I get what you are saying and sure SOME people don't understand.

          It is the misappropriation of taxpayer dollars and misuse of federal power to engage in what COULD be construed as campaign activity. Neither Rudy nor Trump are Biden's opponent. Trump is his FORMER opponent and may well have engaged in criminal activity.

          The norm was, and is once again, that investigations of the President's political opponents aren't encouraged by the President.
