I guess I will have to count Don Diego as one of these political hypocrites forevermore.
Tom Cotton and his merry band of traitors broke the law and it isn't even a tough case as vwe have written evidence. BTW the letter would fall under conspire to put down in 18 USC § 2384.
I wish democrats weren't so spineless there is probable cause for the Federal Government to arrest these guys.
While the letter was ill-advised, wrong headed and a further indication of a dysfunctional Washington DC, does malibber2 seriously expect Republican Senators' Rhetoric to be punished under a 1799 law that has never been successfully prosecuted?
And since he likely did not support the impeachment of President Clinton does his newfound demand to follow the Rule of Law in fact place malibber2 himself into the local cadre of political hypocrites forevermore?
malibber believes to live an honest life you have to hold yourself to the same standard you hold others to. malibber didn't get to vote on the Impeachment of Bill Clinton. malibber guesses at least a few of these same Republicans that voted for impeachment signed the letter authored by the 60 days a Senator.
malibber also notes that prior to Bill Clinton's impeachment, the law hadn't been used since 1868 against a president, so I don't find your arguments about it being an old law persuasive. Malibber also notes Republicans have just announced they will conduct a multimillion dollar investigation of Hillary's legal emails. It was discovered over the weekend that the Republican House member leading that investigation has his own private email server and then he promptly refused this weekend to turn over those emails. He also said there was no evidence of any criminal wrongdoing on Hillary's part, but they were still going to investigate it.
It seems to malibber Republicans have a long and recent history of wasting taxpayer dollars to investigate things that aren't crimes. Maybe they should investigate when there is actual evidence of criminal activity?
One final point, preserving the chain of command is very important to our national security. I note over the weekend Tom Cotton didn't express any regret over his letter and in fact said he had to do it because Tehran would fall to Iran. Republican Presidential hopeful, Bobby Jindal, demanded that he be allowed to sign the letter and commit treason too. In light of this ongoing treason, you have to make an example of someone. I'd suggest an investigation of Ton Cotton aimed at censoring him be launched so other members of our government don't get the idea they can willy nilly commit treason anytime they want and undermine our national security.
