You really want to laser-focus on this one item (because if there's not a whataboutism angle, to the modern right it might as well not exist), fine, I'll bite again: whether or not Trump himself pays any real price for this, if there's one thing I hope does suffer a grievous wound at the end of the process is the - again, blatantly nihilist - "everything sucks, everything's corrupt, everyone is terrible, to get ahead all you can do is line up behind the most terrible of the bunch and strive to be as terrible as they are" mindset that Trump embodies and his followers revel in. Which, as I've said since the beginning, reveals a great deal about why they're here at all.ED-057 wrote:Using tax-payer dollars to influence foreign entities and politically motivated investigations are normal, for better or worse.

Whatever the outcome, at some point somebody concluded "okay, I have to say something" and did so in the manner the law, imperfect as it is, directs, and despite blatant efforts to drown the complaint out (including - and proving that the universe has a sense of humor - shifting the incriminating evidence to a less-accessible server ) it still made its way into the open - yes, it was late in coming, no, it won't address every flaw in the system (funny how that always seems to suddenly pop up as a non-negotiable requirement whenever incremental change for the better seems possible), no, it might not amount to much in terms of concrete action (again, thanks to those willing to suck the devil's dick for the resulting libtard lulz...and/or "populist" upper-end tax cuts), but there are people out there trying to, if nothing else, stop things from getting any worse.
Nitpick whatever you want about their timing or their methods, and god knows nothing on his Earth will stop you from screaming about (((who's really calling the shots))), but at the very least I can hope that, not too far down the line, a lot more people will be willing to tell Our Friend's Son and his ilk in no uncertain terms to keep their obnoxious self-serving Mad Max fetishism to themselves.
