In other words, because Republicans didnt go bonkers on those previous Obama transgressions (presumably because they were security related)...
**********
No, it wasn’t security related. Just Republicans being Republicans. Weak, timid and fearful. Its how they roll (downhill).
as explained in here:
I disagree to an extent. I think some Republicans and conservatives ignore some of things Obama does on defense/terrorism related issues.
Rand Paul went bonkers on drone assassinations. Others did as well. People didn’t cover it or wouldn’t listen.
I think the main reason why Republicans haven’t gone after the president is because they have their own skeletons in the closet.
Maybe what we need to do is pick a couple from each side to prosecute the president, his cabinet, other legislators and high-ranking officials and grant them (the prosecutors) immunity. I’ll bet if you offered a blanket immunity in exchange for prosecuting these people, member of congress would scramble to get in line.
But with things as they are now, many of them fear their own exposure if they press the issues.
Right now, we have a condition of mutually assured destruction: If you expose me, I’ll expose you. Everyone has dirt on everyone else, therefore gridlock.
