We'll see how it plays out, and what the actual facts are. And I think this kind of stuff happens all of the time on both sides of the isle, and I think the vast majority of these politicians are crooked as hell.
It's so much easier to just think everyone is as bad as everyone else. No distinctions to make, no nuance to work out.
There are a lot of things that the last administration was a part of that I have massive problems with. And there is plenty of nuance, it just may not be necessary to detail them in every post. That being said, if you don't think both sides of the political isle have a large percentage shady/immoral/corrupt members than you aren't paying attention.

Another deplorable cop-out based on circular logic, one of many feeble attempts at using the liberals beliefs against them.

"I can say or do anything disgusting that I want to and liberals can't do anything about it because free speech! Liberals support free speech right? Yeah, derp."

Along with...

"Why are you judging me for hating niggers? Where's that liberal understanding?"

...and dozens of other mentally retarded replies.

I said I don't like Sessions. I said I have no problem with him being removed, I said he should be investigated, I said that if he was guilty of lying under oath he should be removed. I never said "let's just give Sessions a chance", that quote was specifically about Trump. You are taking it out of context and applying it to someone completely different than I said. And I didn't accuse you of anything. I suggested that your approach may be different if the people involved were people you agreed with politically, and even said that was your right.

What's to be found? It's already been proven he did it. They asked him a question and he said, under oath, "I have never had contact with Russia." But he did. Twice. Doesn't matter what he talked about. He said he never did it, but he very plainly did.

"Im not an xxx apologist" :poke:

And yes, it would be my right, and I would be a fucking moron for acting in such a way.

"I'm not a Sessions apologist".Let me translate this simple sentence for you.

I'm not letting him off the hook for doing anything illegal. I'm not personally a fan of his. If found guilty of perjury he must go.

What in the hell don't you understand, strat?

In reality I probably very rarely agree with strat. But in this instance it seems he just doesn't understand what an apologist is. That's a different issue.
