Really looking forward to @ggreenwald's beat-down of Chait making claims about his ideology for another of his scolding screeds.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1023919131941326848 …

I'm not familiar with Chait. I have no dog in that fight. I'm specifically commenting on greenwald as an authority on anything.
"I have no dog in that fight other than to slag Greenwald with vague negative assertions whenever possible."
Here is a specific tweet of his from a few days ago that addresses my issues with his position. It is nothing but whataboutism and false equivalencies IMO.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1022930037157318656?s=19 …
Pointing out hypocrisy is neither whataboutism nor false equivalence. He is not condoning hypocrisy by any side.
What's the hypocrisy? Did the DNC collude with a foreign government and illegally receive stolen documents?
"Getting dirt on election opponents from foreigners" is the topic.
It's the "how" that is the false equivalence. "Getting money from a bank": - robbing a bank = illegal and wrong - withdrawing your money from an ATM = normal and legal. Both do the same thing but equating them is a false equivalence.
True, but no one is equating them. Your example should be "It's OK for Dems to illegally withdraw funds from the bank, but it's wrong for Reps to rob the bank." It's known as "partisan logic."
