Excerpt: 'Whataboutism' is reliably useful for triggering breathless speculation by the president’s allies on Fox News, in the alt-right media and among Russian trolls.
Sounds objective to me!

| #11 How about installing some anti-phishing software instead, Johnny boy? |

| #10 Trump et. al. soft pedaled the many investigations (election voter fraud, dossier, immigration, uranium, Benghazi, Raper Bill, Crapper, Huma, Valerie, ...) long enough to allow Podesta to form yet another attack strategy. Almost a year into it and this would be done if they had focused on one thread at a time and indicted the 'Deep State' players for obstruction. How they can ignore pursuing legal recourse for the defamation, I don't know. |

| #8 Saw a vid of Sessons giving a speech re restoring the Constitution and the rule of law. Getting rid of two systems of justice. Replacing Obama bought judges with Constutionalists. Getting back to liberty. A good speech. Might have misjudged Sessons before. |

| #6 Gee, Hillary has no use for the 230 year Constitutional principle of graciously accepting defeat. Well, she and Aaron Burr. Too bad dueling has been outlawed, she could call Comey out rather then 'bitch' about it. |

| #5 it is amazing to see how Podesta can argue the exact opposite of the truth Only if you just came from Mars. |

| #4 Podesta is projecting. The previous administration often ignored the constitution and behaved in a lawless fashion. On the other hand, Trump has tried hard, with considerable success, to restore constitutional government. There is much more for him to do, but it is amazing to see how Podesta can argue the exact opposite of the truth without the slightest apparent sense of shame. |

| #3 Yeah, that's what slays me. With Trump, suddenly these Constitution-hating Leftists love the Constitution. Fucking asswipes. We wouldn't be having a column like this unless they were scared. |

| #2 More like 8 years of unconstitutional principal... Besides Podesta wouldn't know a principal if it kicked him in the ass - hard! |

| #1 I thought the Constitution was a "living, breathing document", etc. |
