That is not semantics at all.  "The ends justifies the means" never works because it's never fair.  Who is going to decide that case-by-case interpretation of the law?  What is your criteria for when it's okay to ignore legality?  That's the whole reason why we made entrapment illegal in the United States.  

The idea of giving people medals when they break the law if they can prove someone else broke the law first would just lead to anarchy.  Would you mind if someone broke into your house because they thought you might have have something illegal there?  

It's not fair that their corrupt actions were exposed? 

 

Feel free to keep defending it. In the end, you're defending their corruption. If they were never guilty of shitty practices, then I my empathize with them. Instead, they were exposed to be shitbags, so fuck'em.

What the fuck are you talking about?  Don't make up shit like that in a civil discussion.  Just don't do it.  That kind of garbage is uncalled for.

I am not defending what happened at the DNC at all.  In no way shape or form did I say anything like that whatsoever.  Why would I even defend that when I would take Sanders over Clinton and refused to vote for her (or Trump)?  That makes no damn sense.  Personally, I think a lot more needs to be done to address the problem with political corruption and those involved need to be freaking ruined.  What I'm saying now, however, has absolutely nothing to do with that.  Do you really, honestly not understand what I said or are you just trying to do some party-line bullshit?

According to our justice system, if you break the law while you are trying to prove that someone else broke the law then you are still responsible for breaking the law.  Period.  Do you understand that?

What you are saying is that you don't believe breaking and entering, search and seizure, or entrapment should be illegal as long as someone says they are searching for evidence of something nefarious.  It's fine if you want to live in a place like that but that is not how our justice system works.  That would be chaos and open the door to some scary abuse.

As someone who despises both parties, I don't give a damn who it affected this time or who it did not.  Can you honestly say the same?
