I have noticed lately that the word “inappropriate” is being used to replace more condemning, yet accurate, words. There’s a big difference between inappropriate and criminal, illegal, etc. Inappropriate describes something like a gift that’s not in good taste, not a criminal activity.
Yep, it's inappropriate to wear cutoffs and tube top to a formal wedding, it's illegal to destroy government property.
It was inappropriate for the man to shoot the clerk dead while inappropriately robbing the QuickMart.
Yes, Comey and Wray and several others have already used up several lifetimes worth of weasel words and evasions.
