Republicans think their false equivalence is exonerating. But instead it is damning.
They are implicitly admitting their man is guilty, but it's okay because someone else did something. So, they say, that makes their man's actions okay.
But that doesn't make it okay. Even if the first wrong was a wrong (which it wasn't), all children are taught in the playground, two wrongs don't make a right.
Trump is guilty. If there were a thousand other people guilty of the same thing, then they would all be guilty.
Trump is as guilty as he would be if Obama was a mass murderer. And he is as guilty as he would be if Obama was the angel Gabriel. Obama has no bearing on Trump's guilt.
Trump cheats. He will be impeached.
