  1.  @aylio3745  Well, if someone is asserting selective prosecution, it is up to them to make an argument for it, I agree. Nor is failing to hold one politician accountable while nailing the other always selective prosecution. But raising the question properly isn't "whataboutism." What I want to know is why the DOJ is not releasing the warrant and affidavit. They work for us, don't they? It's not up to Trump.

  2. Have the actual warrant and affidavits supporting it been made public? If not, then you know.

  5.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  It's not whataboutism if it involves the same class of acts. Selective prosecution is hard to prove, but certainly wrong if done.

  6.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  Right, selective prosecution could mean that someone who should have been scrutinized wasn't, but it does not mean that because one wasn't scrutinized, the other cannot be, no matter what the evidence or the nature of the crime. That is bad logic and bad pragmatics.

  7.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  Then why do you call the OP whataboutism? It's a claim of selective prosecution.

  8.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  My guy is Jean-Luc Melenchon. Incidentally, La France Insoumise party office was raided, as was his home. He's not quite as left as I'd like, but when you refer to "my guy," that would be him. Briahna had a radar on a related topic today. Maybe you might want to keep up? As for your logic, you keep failing to make the distinction I made. I don't know what to suggest there. Raymond Smullyan?

  9.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  Exceedingly lame of you to try to recover from that one. Know when to fold 'em.

  10.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  How am I wrong? There is no such thing as "selective prosecution?" I just happened to string random words together, Dada style, that don't exist in law? It's not part of in general, the law should strive to treat similarly situated people similarly, absent certain well-founded exceptions that in some sense aren't? As in, when it is not possible, or when the situations are only apparently similar but distinguishable in some important way, etc.? Tell yourself that, because "my guy." 😉

  11.  @gruelichkulsheim9445  In logic and semantics, an NP consisting of a first-person possessive pronoun + singular noun usually picks out a particular individual, relative to the person indicated by the pronoun in that context. Or is that just me? /s 🤔

  12.  @aylio3745  Is it "whataboutism" when a black kid is thrown into Rikers on a bare claim that he stole a backpack? The way the SAME class of acts is ignored in one case and prosecuted to the hilt in the other is not whataboutism. Look it up.
