Or perhaps the media understands that this will be another example of the law and consequences only applying to Republicans. And probably best not promoted too prominently.
Trump Foundation gets the hammer brought down on a legally permissible, but not legally tax-deductible $25,000 donation. Maximum consequences applied. Which is the way it ought to be.
No such similar aggressive investigation and prosecution of multiple felonies of actual criminal law (not tax code) connected to national security on the other side. No consequences whatsoever.
That's a contrast that doesn't look too good. Best for the media to leave the implication hanging out there that Trump also does felony-level stuff but also skates. This IRS ruling doesn't fit that moral equivalence narrative.
The Republicans believe that Hillary has committed crimes and needs to go to trial for them (and be found guilty, of course). It's is the only way "justice" (as they see it) will be served. They have convicted her regardless of what the evidence concludes, and that's that. They just
know that something is corrupt with the FBI and all those other committees that she had to face countless times because she is guilty as hell for whatever they think she is guilty of. And they will never let this go. Ever!
Their time would best be spent pursuing positive things that actually help the American public than continuing to waste precious time as they have been, but I guess helping the general public is not really important in the scheme of things?
