-- This is the problem with the Democrats. They flaunt the law and ethics. --

Not busting your chops, but the word that fits that thought is "flouts," not "flaunts."

***Not busting your chops, but the word that fits that thought is "flouts," not "flaunts."*** Actually both would work, flaunts is the more commonly used term and fits the context well. Flaunt - transitive verb - to treat contemptuously (one of multiple definitions, and the appropriate one here.) Flout - transitive verb - to treat with contemptuous disregard : scorn Both from Merriam Webster online dictionary, to keep the source consistent. So both are very similar, and both would work equally well here, the biggest difference is that flaunt is a much more commonly used word. (to be fair it also has a much more variable definition too) Anyway I digress...back to the original topic... OK so this says there is no evidence of any Trump emails involved so that proves or strongly indicates he is behind it??? Liberal logic at its best... oh wait that's right...the terms liberal and logic should NEVER be used in the same sentence...my bad...

Do you not think the Democrats treat laws and ethical behavior with contempt. Not to argue but the Democrats are evil and they show contempt at most everything I believe in.
