Here’s the cycle. Liberals make laws (Lord do they make laws), liberals ignore the laws they made. Liberals are caught breaking the laws they made. Liberals call for new laws to be made in response of the law that they broke. The MSM nods their head in approval. Liberals say that that thing (the lawbreaking) is old news and it is time to move on. Liberals then say that everyone does it, and that it is Bush’s fault. Repeat as needed.
You left out Deny, Deny, Deny .Delay Delay Delay .. THEN its “old news, we have answered all of that a long time ago, the American people want us to move on.” then - the Media nods in approval.
