They know that espionage is a very serious offense against our nation. They know it is not legal to withhold evidence from the FBI. They understand that attempted extortion is a crime.
They may believe that Donald Trump won the last election but they do not believe it is OK to steal the nation's secrets and hold them for ransom.
They believe in the basic rules of law, just as most other Americans believe. We should not believe that they are willing to overlook the laws of the country just because they believe Joe Biden is not the legitimate president.
Many of them understand that those who break the law, be it Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, or Donald Trump, they must be held accountable. Not all of them, but most of them believe in the rule of law, in my opinion. If they do not understand that, they must be cast aside. They are part of the problem, not the solution.
That is why Merrick Garland must indict and prosecute the crimes that have been committed in broad daylight. It is damn near treason and the MAGAts know it.
The rule of law must be restored.

(1,766 posts)But they don't know those things.
What they actually believe is in impunity for them, and subjugation for the rest of us.
Or, as Frances Wiltholt allegedly put it: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
They are the in-group, and everyone else is out.
This is what they "know."
Don't ascribe to them a familiarity with reality, ethics or morality that they do not have, and will never have.
