It's all here in this article. The whole problem. Lawbreaking is becoming a Republican badge of honor.
Not everyone has access, so here are the key points:
wapo.st/2HCSQjP?tid=ss…
1/ Former NY Congressman Michael Grimm is a felon who hired undocumented workers, hid 900K from tax authorities, and made false statements under oath.
He dismisses his convictions because they happened under Obama’s “politicized” DOJ.
2/ “It’s almost identical to what the president has been going through,”Grimm says.

Other Republican candidates with criminal convictions are following Grimm's lead and casting themselves as victims of Obama’s overreach. The new heroes of the far right: Flynn, Arpaio, etc.
3/ Just this morning, I made the point that there is no shortage of crimes (or evidence to support those crimes). The problem is that the R leaders don't care. The idea is to sow so much confusion that people can't tell the difference between sending an email from...
4...a personal server, or hiding $900K from the IRS, or conspiring with a foreign government to throw the election. This is right out of Putin's playbook: Get people so confused that authoritarianism can arise from the chaos.
