Spare me the pompous hypocrisy about how the law applies equally to all. (Talking to you, MSNBC, NYT and others.) If so, Donnie would be frog-marched to the paddy wagon the instant they found the docs. Like Reality Winner. He'd immediately get his passport canceled. Like Edward Snowden. He'd be stripped naked pre-trial and put in a bare cell under "suicide watch." Like Chelsea Manning. So stop.

Yet journalists continue to pour their work into the site, which means they are actively supporting it whether they want to admit this or not.

“This indictment must now play out through the legal process, without any outside political or ideological interference. We encourage Mr. Trump's supporters and critics alike to let this case proceed peacefully in court.”

In a normal universe, this is the joint statement issued by leaders of both parties. In our universe, it’s Democrats only.
