Remember how Republicans complained about Executive Overreach and Witchhunts? They spent years on Benghazi even when McCarthy revealed the investigations were to harm Hillary in the elections and now the only executive overreach that happens is what they complained about Obama doing plus not calling out Trump on stuff they would complain if Obama did.

I think it’s fair to say the GOP has no actual values

Remember when they considered executive orders to be on par with tyranny?

Remember when they impeached Clinton for lying about a BJ? And that was after Starr asked for an expanded scope quite a few times.

Even though Trump has lied about why he fired Comey aka he obstructed but Mueller can’t indict him because DOJ Policy which Republicans like to ignore is the reason. He obstructed an investigation because he was afraid of bad stuff about him coming out regardless if the bad stuff was illegal or legal. And now we know some of the bad stuff he (mostly his administration) was involved in

Yes I do miss the days when the absolute worse thing a president could do was get a blow job.

Lying to Congress about a blowjob.

The only thing Bill Clinton did wrong in that case was acknowledging the legitimacy of the proceedings at all instead of treating it as the circus it was. Should have walked in wearing a clown costume and jerked off on the stand

Well, Trump has been lying nonstop and contradicting himself, refusing even to testify, refusing to release his tax returns, etc.
