Unfortunately, the GOP foolishly diverted attention from the crime by accusing the FBI of violating the Constitution in conducting the search.
The GOP leadership is dumb as rocks.
Short of their own corruption, I don't know what they could have been thinking. Others have attributed some grand political scheme to this, or plain worry over the constitutionality, but I don't see it. It was just plain dumb.
Rocks are smarter.
That is why we call them The Stupid Party.
I think you're on to something. They threw away the perfect trump.
Rocks just sit there, the GOP leadership practices active stupidity.
Actually, the reaction of Hastert, et al, keeps this on the front page - right where pubbies want it. Another W rope-a-dope???????
They didn't violate the Constitution and it wasn't the GOP, it was the Justice Dept that got a subpoena from a Federal Judge and legally searched his office.
