    Kinda sorta. The Democrats accused were keeping two main residences, one in DC and one in their home state, with the knowledge of their lenders. That’s not really fraud.

      Maybe. The principle holds though. Politics isn’t a team sport. Prosecute every crime, not the the ones by the other team.

        I generally agree with you…but a congressmember whose home is far from DC doing the normal things that people obliged to spend half their time in two locations for work do isnt something that should be prosecuted, no matter which party.

        Its a bit different when there is a third house, used as a vacation home a few weeks a year.

      Who cares at this point. The law doesn’t matter, they’re trying to put homeless people in camps. They’ve already put legal residents in camps. Minors and citizens too

      Just punish them all. They should have fought harder if they didn’t want to get fucked by the state, as far as I’m concerned they were absent in DC
