Jeffrey Toobin on CNN

[NanceGreggs]

Paraphrasing from memory his statement this afternoon: “If Hillary was president and her personal lawyer was under investigation, you’d need a spatula to scrape the Republicans off the ceiling.”

No fuckin’ kidding.

[Kirk Lover]

1. Yup that's pretty much EXACTLY what he said. Fucking True.

[democratisphere]

2. Corruption is a good thing as long as redumbliCONs are doing it!

Dems need to kick some deplorable ass!

[Iliyah]

3. OK I can't stop laughing

[NanceGreggs]

6. I know, right?

I keep picturing Jeff Sessions et al clinging to the ceiling, waiting for a giant spatula to lift them to safety!

[panader0]

4. REpublican hypocrisy is rampant.

[mcar]

5. I say similar just about every day

Of this maladministration.

[dalton99a]

7. No truer words

[stonecutter357]

8. K&R

[BobTheSubgenius]

9. As with so many things..,

...flip them around so a Democrat is in frame, and the atmosphere would change a lot, and in a big hurry.

[calimary]

16. Exactly! Just pose the rhetorical question - "what if a Democratic president was doing this stuff?

How would you be responding if it was a President Hillary Clinton doing this stuff?

How would you be reacting if President Obama had done this stuff?

[Stonepounder]

10. Of course, if Trump were President and his personal lawyer was under investigation,

the Republicans would want to lock Hillary up.

Oh, wait....

[Cha]

11. Add the cable media in there, too.. or is that

repetitive?

Thanks, Nance!

[The Wizard]

12. The professional victim GOP is well trained by Pox News

The feigned outrage is in their DNA. I remember during the 04 campaign when Kerry said Cheney's daughter was a lesbian in the context of her family's love for her. Nothing really offensive about that considering she was the female spokeswoman for Coors Beer so outing her was off the table.
The Repubics immediately took to the podium to excoriate Kerry as an evil man for doing absolutely nothing wrong. And the media never questioned them as to what Kerry did to offend them.

[GusBob]

13. And what would Democrats be saying?

I always play this mental exercise I call: what if the shoe were on the other foot?

If the above hypothetical were the case, a big if, I reckon we would cross it off to: more Clinton scandal mongering. There would be some sort of gussied up scandal for sure. But how would the Dems handle it?

Sometimes the shoe other foot game exceeds the hypotheticals

Hillary would never send out divisive or insulting tweets. She wouldn't golf or take excessive days off, etc

Another example, Obama would never cheat on his wife, he would never sleep with a porn star

It is frustrating how far down Trump has dragged the honor of the presidency

[certainot]

14. the difference is 1200 radio stations attacking hillary but making excuses for trump

aside from the natural ability of republicans to be two faced hypocrites

[rpannier]

15. If that were the case

There'd be a line of attorneys that went around the block several times to 'investigate'.

[Honeycombe8]

17. Exactly. nt

[NewJeffCT]

18. 90% of what Trump has done

would have caused Republicans to react that exact same way if Hillary had done it.

[Mr. Sparkle]

19. He has to be one of my favorite commentators on Cnn.

[Cosmocat]

20. The question is - when will this country stop indulging their bullshit?
