re: #373 Mike Lamb
So Pierce says that it isnāt helpful for the media to declare the raid āunprecedented.ā But letās be clear: it is unprecedented. The problem is the media is framing according to the GOPās talking pointsāi.e. that it is politically unprecedented. It implies the raid was illegitimate. They arenāt even considering, for the most part, the unprecedented nature of Trumpās crime.
I think many people donāt 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 competitorās 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.
