Does it matter what party he is? Especially given that its just some small town no one ever heard of. And if he’s a Dem, plenty of Republicans get caught with their fingers in the cookie jar (or other parts in places they shouldn’t be, as per the Louisiana Congressman who just got busted.)

Crimes among politicians is a bipartisan thing.

It matters in that it highlights the hypocrisy of the media, who ALWAYS mention the party if it's a Republican. And rarely does if it's a Dem.

Crimes among politicians is a bipartisan thing.

The vast majority of politicians that get caught committing crimes are democrats.

Of course it matters — besides the corruption, the topic is about Partisan Media Shills.

“Does it matter what party he is?”

It certainly does, when REPUBLICANS involved in crimes are referred to constantly as “REPUBLICAN such and such was charged/convicted” in the headline...and the affiliation of Democrats is NEVER mentioned or is buried. This, of course, is all orchestrated and deliberate.
