Irony of the day:
“Can you imagine an administration investigating its political opponents?” said the president.
Short answer: YES.
Trump never seems to understand the implications of what he says. If investigating political opponents is treason, then he is accusing himself of a crime which carries the death penalty!
NOTE: It would be nice if Trump confessed to treason, but no matter who did it, it is not treason. It could, however, be criminal if the investigation had no legitimate purpose and provided no benefit to the public. Obviously, if a political opponent were to commit crimes, he or she should be and would be investigated like any other criminal. Politicians are not automatically immune from criminal investigation. (Thank heaven, because so many of them ARE criminals.)
Actually, if there’s one certainty about Trump, it’s that he accuses others of exactly what he is doing.
And Trump’s base eats this stuff up.
