Looks like they got Menendez this time.That, and the never-ending Hunter Biden story will be distractions giving Trump some cover. Jeez.

@johnldeboer

Except the people calling for Menendez to resign are Democrats.

You can't "cover" 91 felony charges in four different jurisdictions.

@mcfate Oh, yes you can, unfortunately. It’s whataboutism: “You say Trump is corrupt? Well, what about Menendez and Hunter Biden, huh?” The multitude of charges against Trump won’t matter to Republicans as long as they have Democrats to point fingers at.

@johnldeboer

It only has to "matter" to 12 jurors. All the whataboutism in the world is immaterial in court.

Also, it's an abject fallacy, I don't have to entertain that. It's nonsense.

"Yeah, Trump is corrupt as hell. If Menendez or Biden ever get convicted of something, lock 'em up."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@johnldeboer

Sure, that's why everyone indicted in connection with J6 to date has been convicted.

A hung jury just gets you a retrial.

You seem to enjoy imagining that things work out for the worst for some reason. Is there a benefit to that and I'm just not seeing it somehow?

@mcfate I’m hardly enjoying it! But I’ve seen Trump escape accountability too often to predict he’ll finally get what he deserves. Nothing wrong with hoping for the best though, And I’m in that camp.

@johnldeboer

For someone who hopes for the best, you're devoting a lot of energy to the worst, and apparently wanting others to expect the worst, too.

I'm someone who waits to see what happens and reacts — perhaps — to THAT, not to things I'm just imagining in my head.
