DOJ has a long history of prosecuting folks for the unlawful retention of national defense information, including the politically powerful like Sandy Berger and David Petraeus.

Yes, Clinton got away. She shouldn't have. That's no reason to let Trump break the law with impunity. https://t.co/oXaDwLYzCc

"They can dish it out but can't take it," is a simple idiom everyone knows and Democrats should point it out more about their opposition to box them in on this predictable behavior. https://t.co/U2eWz98mk8

I have yet to see a version of the “precedent” argument that isn’t essentially “let elected officials do free crimes, or else we’ll make up crimes to charge innocent people with.” https://t.co/Ln0XbZiouG

You are a hypocrite if you state, as a principle, that loan forgiveness or receiving government help is bad when you've benefitted from such help, yes. Let's stop pretending all the anti-student loan cancellation rhetoric was just about high-minded policy disagreements. https://t.co/vqNlNn4QKd

Well I for one don't think it's great that we have a Supreme Court justice who is a member of a misogynist cult. https://t.co/9Gl4RFgBFz

Generally speaking, we're saying PPP relief is good, student debt relief is also good, and that running around saying "only bad people don't pay their debts" is hypocrisy when you've had debts forgiven (and/or show slavish devotion to a man who's declared Chapter 11 six times.) https://t.co/N41zPRprs0

Is this serious, @MickMulvaney. “Just documents?” What do you think Robert Hansen and Aldrich Ames were giving their handlers, Secret Decoder Rings? They went to prison for life. Why are you still defending your former boss? https://t.co/KYf7fl7Et0

Yep. He's been given remarkable latitude. You might argue that's appropriate for former presidents, but the DOJ's patience argues against the claim of a politicized witch hunt. If I'd done the same things, I'd already be in handcuffs. https://t.co/Vqb7JPe2Ug

absolutely dishonest or naive about what's going on. no one is attacking PPP. people are calling out the hypocrisy of the right having their loans forgiven, while saying loans shouldn't be forgiven https://t.co/NQwQleLAzO

The White House started randomly posting people's PPP loans? That sure does sound weird!

Oh... what's that? They did it in response to specific elected officials claiming that loan forgiveness is bad?

Poliwag, maybe be less full of shit and you won't lose so many markers. https://t.co/2JFWE9pO3i

The trap being that if you... took government forgiveness on a loan you'll be criticized if you then claim it's bad for the government to grant forgiveness?

Bruh, that's a "trap" the way a finger-trap is a "trap". https://t.co/9BNGcFSvI6

Honeybear, the point is PPP loan forgiveness was good (and clearly those who took advantage of it thought so, including the right-wing).

What's bad is the hypocrisy of opposing loan forgiveness for *others* having benefitted from loan forgiveness themselves. https://t.co/gYLtJYmpOa

the PPP program was pretty stupidly designed but, as it was sold to the public, was a remarkably generous idea of governmental support during a time of profound crisis and nobody is actually mad about the few cases where it was actually used as intended.

If you voted for $2 trillion in unpaid-for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, no one wants to hear your opinion on targeted relief for working and middle class Americans

Does anyone besides me see the irony in a politician suddenly being concerned about “unintended consequences?” @CatoHealth @mfcannon @jeffreyamiron @TCBurrus @ConLawWarrior https://t.co/pjNIZHSmQ3

Dear friends, if any of you cover up thousands of instances of child sexual abuse, then we will not be friends anymore. I guess that line just has to be made explicit, for some reason. https://t.co/IxkleDIO5S
