A central figure in the current administration is convicted of four felonies, including obstruction of justice. During the trial it is made obvious that the outing was a punitive measure, inconsistent with lawful legal practices concerning the treatment of Intelligence personnel. The punishment for these offenses could lead to up to 25 years imprisonment.

And you want us to believe that this is some silly little insignificant thing?

What i recall 'the left' (look out mavis! Hide the chillun! Tha Left is here!) predicting was that:

1) The outing was a vindictive affair meant to silence a critic
2) That laws had been violated in this affair
3) That 1 and 2 were decisions made at high levels in the administration and
4) That an orchistrated effort was made at the highest levels to 'cover their tracks', lie, and obfuscate about the entire matter.

This is exactly what has come to pass.

Why on earth do yo consider this insignificant in a free society goverened by law?

Wow. Talk about relative morals.
