Good observation. One could posit the notion that this sort of behavior was relatively normative, given the revelations about Epstein’s lolita flights. Open secrets and all - ‘just because he’s a pedophile, and who isn’t in this house, doesn’t mean he can’t keep a secret. On the contrary, in fact . . . ‘
I think part of the beauty of this is that Hillary likes to have leverage over people so that she can threaten them and control them. If you are truly “clean as a whistle” then the Democrats won’t trust you — you might feel compelled to do the right thing at some point. But, if you are dirty in some way (Bill, Hillary, Reno, Harry Reid, John Roberts, etc.) then Hillary knows that you can be destroyed if you disobey her. So ... Anthony Weiner is a pedophile? GREAT! That helps him be trusted by the Democrats! He would never betray them! He knows there would be an awful price to pay!
But now we see that this plan does not always work out.
