I would say that those are outliers that are so extreme that the Democrats are forced to indict.

Remember, they tried to give Hunter Biden open-ended immunity first, but were forced to indict him when Biden retracted his guilty plea after allocution when the unprecedented immunity deal collapsed.

Menendez was found with cash sown inside of clothing and gold bars in his home. That was William Jefferson level stuff.

The issue is the double-standard of declining to indict Democrats for the same thing they indicted Republicans for. Examples are the treatment of Paul Manafort (registered foreign agent), Steve Bannon (contempt of Congress), and Peter Navarro (contempt of Congress) versus Eric Holder (contempt of Congress) and Hunter Biden (registered foreign agent). Look at Jamaal Bowman (obstructing an official procedure) versus George Santos (lying during a campaign???) and J6 trespasser (obstructing an official procedure).

In the case of House Representatives, again it's about power. Democrats have been trying to whittle down the Republican 4-seat lead using procedural tricks while defending their own seats for similar transgressions. They support the ouster of McCarthy and Santos while protecting Omar, Bush and Bowman. It's just how they roll.

Before Santos, all previous expulsions were Dems. And McCarthy would have been safe had certain hard right Republican members not have been jerks and called for his removal.

Maybe on a proportional basis Dems seem to get favorable treatment. But it appears they don’t get off Scot free.
