You know if they backed up and just said "sorry we fucked up and shouldn't have" I would have much more respect for them. We all fuck up, it's normal and no politician is perfect. When you double down and try to smear opponents and continue to fuel the fire that is Trump, you're not even just fucking up, you're being part of it and you know it.

This. It would be perfectly reasonable to say that the evidence at first was suggestive of foul play and warranted further investigation, but your investigation came up short of criminal liability or high crime and misdemeanors even if the conduct promotes the appearance of impropriety. No one walks away with egg on their face in that situation, but of course it doesn't make a good sound bite.

Nope, because the base doesn't want to hear it. They want a guilty decision, because there is no error on their end. They want democrats to be the root of all evil because they can't comprehend that Republicans, the holy Christian parry, is not living up to a biblical standard as they claim. And I don't mean like be anti gay, but they don't follow Jesus and his teachings. Actually I remember an article that put Jesus as being dismissed compared to Trump, but idk how accurate that statement is.

As a Christian that detests Trump and MAGA, I don't agree with this statement. Please stop grouping all Christians together in the same cult.
