Robert Reich: Office Hours: Will the Republicans’ bogus claim of a “double standard” of justice stick?

Office Hours: Will the Republicans’ bogus claim of a “double standard” of justice stick?

There’s no comparison between the allegations against Hunter Biden and those against Trump, but the GOP will push the claim because it has no scruples.

This headline says it all.

The level to which the GOP is willing to stoop to defend Donald Trump in absolutely everything he does has become vomit level disgusting.

Frankly, I really care very little about Hunter Biden and his legal woes. It's mostly just a distraction from things that really matter. But the comparison of misdemeanors to felonies, and tax problems to violating the Espionage Act, is simply beyond the pale.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
