Instead of defending our own particular favorite political parties elected official when he breaks a law BOTH sides should be equally aghast and demand something be done about it immediately. Unfortunately I believe that both sides use this knit picking "look what they done" to distract the American people from things that really matter. To often our elected officials are doing "what's right" for themselves and their own particular political party while pointing a finger at the opposite party to distract from their own transgressions and we the American voting public fall right into their trap. I believe we are living in a pathetically sad period of American politics with no hope for any future improvements. There is so much finger pointing right now between the parties that nothing can get done other than investigating the other party. What's right for America seems to have taken a back burner somewhere while the United States only gets better for the wealthy while we argue which party or which president broke more laws. Pathetic!
