Plagiarizing speeches in last century — no problem.
Brother fed government contracts — no problem.
Drugie son given milions with dad’s support — no problem
Pedophile type behavior (compulsive) when near young girls — no problem
Accused of sexual assault — no problem
Involved in spying on Trump — no problem
Involved in targeting the NSA apointee of new President — no problem
obvious dementia — no problem
The only people with problems are the American public.

Republican...commit an offense...resign or go to prison.
