Investigating Only the Enemy

EVER ASSIDUOUS in their devotion to the pursuit of justice, the Congressional Republicans have requested that President Trump turn over to them a compelte lsit of all humans who enetered his house over the past year, what they call a "visitor's log", the sort of thing you might have at a country club, a resort, or an property owned by Donald Trump or your average wealthy pretentious Republican. This is in connection with the Republican's intense frenzy to investigate how Biden came to still possess classified documents at his home. Problem is, Biden doesn't keep one, a visitor's log, at his house, and neither does anyone else who lives or works there, so it seems. Normal, unpretentious Americans simply do not keep "visitor's logs" at their homes. Even more hilarious than conservative America's apparent ignornace of the lifestyles of normal Americans is the disparity between their treatment of Donald Trump and his classified cocuments, and Joe Biden and his. The two presidents, one former and one current, have very different situations. For one, Trump has, or rather had a veritable room full of classified documents he shouldn't have, while Biden only had a few. The major difference is of course that whereas Biden turned over his documents voluntarily and is cooperating compeletly with the appropriate, proper authorities, Trump continues to engage in obstruction of justice, avoiding any and all responsibility for his characteristically criminal behavior. The issue is intent. Whereas Biden's document possession appears to have been entirely accidental, an oversight by an assistant, Trump's theft of Federal property was planned and premeditated, according to Trump himself, and was obviously perpetrated for some hidden, as yet unrevealed motive, like, maybe, selling them to the Russians, to help his old friend, Mr. Putin. Who knows? The Rebublicans continue to respond to Trump's criminal behavior by blaming it on other people, denying it altogether, or by claiming that the whole thing is a set up by Trump's enemies, which it always seems to be with Trump. Biden? Well, according to Republicans, its the most egeregious behavior of any president ever, and must be duly investigted immediately, for the sake of accountability and justice. You can look long and hard, but you cannot find a conservative Republican willing to even mention the possibility that Trump might've behaved incorrectly by trying to, say, overthrow the governemnt, or, say, by stealing thousands of classified documents, deliberately, upon leaving office. Besides having become essentially a criminal organization which sanctions criminal activity, the G.O.P. gang is chock full of blatant hypocrites. Not to even mention their obvious moral and intellectual bankruptcy.
