Actually, you don't "got it".
I didn't say the justice system failed with Hastert. He was convicted. I said it's a shame that statute of limitations ran out to punish the lowest of criminals in Hastert with the harshest penalty, but at least he was able to be brought to some justice. I NEVER said he was convicted of child molestation. I said he was convicted AND an admitted child molester and is recognized by the court as one and that satisfies my standard of guilt. Unproven accusations do not satisfy my standard for guilt, as where it stands with Hillary today.
I totally support all investigations into any supposed criminal activities she may have done. I totally support any charges that may be brought upon her. The problem is that even though she may be the most investigated person in the history of the US, nothing ever sticks, and I personally feel that this will go down the same path. I have yet to see how these investigations aren't politically motivated, but I say let them happen.
I also didn't say that the justice system failed with Cheney, I said that it got it wrong, which it sometimes does. Justice served wrong isn't necessarily a failure, IMO. If someone is wrongly imprisoned, that's when it fails. Maybe you could make a case that Scooter Libby was failed by the justice system, but that's a whole other debate. The fact that I do support all of this, I'm not sure how that makes me partisan on these issues.
I'm not sure why you're taking such a privilege of speaking my words for me, basically dodging the subject. I hear nothing of your commentary on the inability of Republican leadership to call Hastert what he is. No thoughts on that?
