re: #373 Mike Lamb

So Pierce says that it isnā€™t helpful for the media to declare the raid ā€œunprecedented.ā€ But letā€™s be clear: it is unprecedented. The problem is the media is framing according to the GOPā€™s talking pointsā€”i.e. that it is politically unprecedented. It implies the raid was illegitimate. They arenā€™t even considering, for the most part, the unprecedented nature of Trumpā€™s crime.

I think many people donā€™t know the difference between or are deliberately conflating unprecedented and unwarranted.

It is unprecedented, but it is not unwarranted.

Unprecedented is being impeached for committing extortion against a friendly head of state in the hope that said friendly head of state would help out in your political election by falsely declare he was investigating his political competitorā€™s son.
- attempting to strongarm state government officials to falsely find votes to get him to win a state.
- attempting to create a false slate of electors to get you into office.
- attempting to launch a coup and attempting to assassinate many members of Congress and your own Vice President.
- ending sanctions on foreign companies so your daughter can get trademarks in that country.
