If Dem political staff had done what Don, Jr. and Kushner did, ignorance of law wouldn't be excuse.

I just have a strong feeling that if it had been Democratic candidate staffers that a higher bar would apply and that being ignorant would not be believed or acceptable as a reason for not going after them.

And it pisses me off.

The bar has been lowered so much for these clowns it’s buried in the dirt.

wouldn't result in lies or cover-up now, would it? Stupid is as stupid does... A person who knowingly
breaks the law will line up their defenses at the outset.
