But isn't it nice to see that when the mood strikes them, Republicans can find all kinds of grace and mercy in their shriveled little hearts for a man who gave classified information to his mistress/biographer? It's not like he used a private e-mail server that was never compromised, which as we all know is the Unforgivable Sin.

Another big trip-up would likely get him a ride to Leavenworth, wouldn't it? He'll behave.

(9,673 posts)11. Isn't consorting with known criminals a violation of his probation orders?
That's what he'd be doing the moment he stepped foot in the White House.
