Whatever happened to compartmentalization, it's just about sex, it doesn't affect his ability to do the job?

It’s the NYT. I suspect we’ll find that the accusation is the only evidence.

That doesn’t apply to an attorney for an evil Republican.

These Pharisees have no concept of how they look. If that’s the worst they can allege, all they are saying is that Trump may have yielded to temptation more than some hypothetical person who was never even subject to the same temptation.

Same thing with slaveholders. They did bad things that a modern liberal could not do, let alone get away with doing. So the modern liberal preens on her virtue - but take away her electricity and running water, which replace a lot of what slaves did in the household - and see how put-upon she feels then. You can’t even get a Certificate of Occupancy on a house that doesn’t have electricity and running water and indoor toilets.

Nobody seriously suggests that we should not use electricity - if you don’t count Al Gore with his multiple energy-guzzling houses - so our liberal friend does not admit to any concept of evil for living about as easy as a pre-bellum southern slaveholder did.

Before Eighteenth Century Christians turned against the institution of slavery, slavery existed and was taken for granted (as long as you weren’t the slave) in all cultures and throughout history. So it just happened that antebellum southern Christians were uniquely situated to be the last Christians to get the word (in a way that they could hear it) that slavery wasn’t acceptable to Christians.

And in a very real sense, the American Revolution freed up British Christians to more easily oppose slavery - which they did vigorously - without having to face up to the existence of that institution within what had been their realm.

What happened to the FBI not leaking illegally such information?

Not only that, whatever became of the fabled DOJ secrecy and attempts to root out leaks to newspapers.

Somebody needs to be indicted for this leak and go to jail.
