"... [E]ven before the indictment was unsealed, voters were treated to an onslaught of GOP comments tarring the case as corrupt and unconscionable. See House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) decrying a 'grave injustice.' Listen to former vice president and 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence contort himself into an impossible position arguing simultaneously that no one should be above the law and that the indictment shouldn’t have moved forward.
"If anyone is guilty of turning the legal system into a political hand grenade, it has been the Republicans themselves. In the 2016 campaign, when questions were raised about Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, Mr. Trump himself urged rally crowds to chant 'lock her up. This time, however, they’re the ones on the defense with regard to the possibly illegal handling of sensitive government information." -- Washington Post editorial board on the reaction by his cultists and their exploiters to the indictment of the Malignant Loser on 38 felony counts.
In a bonus article, Philip Bump writes about "The Three Tiers of Trump Sycophancy," which does a pretty nice job of sorting out the clueless dead- ender base from the exploiters and the re- directors. One of the slicker operators is oleaginous Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn "Red Vest" Youngkin, who gets some needed blow- back for his accusation that a "two- tiered system of justice" is what's to blame for the Malignant Loser's indictment. What a two- dimensional phony (meaning he has a bright future in the Republican/ Seditionist/ Forced Birth Party).
