Reply #160: No, there aren't any differences

That's one of the main problems with the current US political process, never mind the board in your own eye, always mind the splinters in others.

How, for example, do you draw from the fact that the Republicans didn't prosecute the Clinton administration over these supposed crimes?

You could infer two things, I guess. EIther:

(A) there wasn't strong enough evidence to make the case, or
(B) what they did was standard operating procedure

Given that (A) is highly unlikely given the Republicans' thirst for the blood of the Clintons, guess what that leaves you with?

It's my belief that ultimately, there would be so much political bloodshed on both sides that neither side is ultimately willing to take that first step. There is no such thing as forever in Washington.
