If it was staffed by RATs and the usual conclusion to RAT misbehavior has been “move on, nothing to see here”, then it is a proper response. If it has fairly targeted all transgressors then it is a red flag against “our side”.

He was the successor to Rep. Adam Clayton Powell Jr (D-NY), who did get caught with his hand in both the cookie box and nookie box (See the untouched up photo of the woman he was with in the Bahamas in Dec. 1966, who, if her bikini top snapped off, would kill everyone within a 100 foot radius.
