Whataboutism

 The GOP is playing whatabout. What about Hillary's emails? What about Biden's garage? What about Clinton's sock drawer?

That is their defense. Whataboutism.

Hillary had 33,000 emails on her server, which she gave to the FBI on request. After reviewing them all, three were classified. Two were marked as classified and were not. One was classified but was not marked as such.

Biden returned any and all classified documents found in his office or, supposedly, his garage, on request. He allowed the FBI to search.

Bill had taped conversations in his oval office with his biographer. He kept those tapes, presumably in case what was printed was not what was said. The White House archivist asked for their return as the property of the White House. Bill complied.

Then we have Trump. He had a major tantrum when he lost in 2020. Major. When he left, he took untold boxes of classified documents. When the White House archivist asked for their return, he refused. The FBI asked for them repeatedly and he refused. The FBI eventually raided Mar a Lago and seized them. Trump has charges filed against him.

Whataboutism is not a good defense here.
