(13,390 posts)It's because he broke the law and got caught. Was it just the republican's good fortune that he happened to be president at the time? He was just arrogant enough to do it even when they were trying to dig up anything to nail him. It was not impeachment worthy, but he really did do what he was accused of.
Why is it so difficult to believe that Hillary is equally arrogant? She had do have some inkling that there was a possibility that she would run for president, yet did not follow the rules to the letter while in a position where she routinely dealt with sensitive and classified information.
They are both showing a pattern of arrogance that suggests that they are above the law. The most disturbing thing about it is that it somehow has promoted loyalty based on hatred for the RW. Thus, the talking point that this is a RW witch hunt when it is a non partisan law enforcement body following up on a report generated by an IG from a Democratic administration. Over the past 20+ years, they have created a political paradigm. Convince a people that they are victims and they will be more loyal and even see them as triumphant if they escape consequences. These are problems they invited and use to create some of the most warped loyalty we have ever seen.
We did see it during the Bush administration when loyalists defended the leak of Valerie Plame's information.
