    “It’s extremely dangerous for democracy, this idea that the winner just puts the loser in prison, prosecutes the loser,” Richard Painter, a former White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush

    Really? Abandoning the rule of law to imprison your rivals is dangerous for democracy?

    This is exactly the level of “expert” opinion I expect from someone who was paid to justify torture for the proto-trump administration.

      Depends. Do you get money offered for weighing in in the matter?

      Dus thuis money come from media outlets or Russian assets?

      If 1 you’re an expert, if 2 you’re doing your own research
