People become hypocrites when 'their guy' is the one being investigated.
No conservatives cared when Trump asked Putin and WikiLeaks (publicly) to hack her and leak DNC emails.
Anyone who cares too much about this is too invested in a power struggle they cannot contribute to.
I repeat: you are probably no one, and will most likely die in obscurity. Stop caring about bullshit like this, and think about practical steps to make your families life better.
"Trump asked Putin and WikiLeaks to hack her"
LOL, mainstream media, much?

'Mainstream media, much?'
Your inability to put forth an actual argument, suggests that you are, in fact, an American.
If 'appeal to authority' is a logical fallacy, then it's inverse 'derision of authority' isn't much better. Just because you disagree with the messenger, doesn't mean they are wrong.
Just because I think Donald Trump is a liar, who cheats his employees and people he plays golf with (unforgivable), doesn't mean that he is wrong 100% of the time. Or anywhere close to that.
That's what being an adult is about - being able to evaluate ideas on a thought by thought basis. Not by discrediting an idea simply by virtue of its messenger.
Then again, you sound like an American - and we all know that Americans have a serious maturity problem. And are generally poorly educated. And poor, at least compared to what their average economic potential is.

I hit a nerve, haha.
Look man, I don't know what Trump did wrong because the media are a bunch of lyers. He can hang for whatever he did, I don't care.
But what I see is the media wants it to end with him. And I'm not ok with that. There are so many crimes, for example former presidents and bill gates fucking babies and getting away with it. Let's see them all hang, right?
Or are you just stuck on Orange Man Bad?

You hitting a nerve, doesn't detract from my argument. Which you didn't address because, again, you seem to be incapable of formulating any sort of sophisticated argument.
'media are a bunch of lyers' - alright, let's assume that's true.
So how did you hear about Bill Gates allegedly banging babies? From... the media? Or, was it media that you 'trust'? If so, you are just another hypocrite.
Or... was it from social media... from random people, who may just be shitposting? Or from automated bots? Or people who just want to cause chaos, because they are trying to feel powerful online because in real life they are basement dwelling losers?
If so, then it's not really worth spending more time with you because you obviously are capable of believing anything and have no rational ability to discern bullshit from reality.
Do you want to know the reason why Trump is a net negative? It's because he has encouraged other people to act like assholes. Shit, I'm normally a pretty mild mannered guy - but I'm writing like an asshole right now.
He has encouraged people like you to say 'lets see them all hang' - he has encouraged people to think violent, destructive thoughts that are damaging to the social fabric. He has encouraged you, instead of trying to become smarter and learn how to filter trust/falsehoods, you just say throw your arms up and say 'fuck it, they are liars'. Why? Because you are intellectually lazy.
That's why I dislike him - because he creates instability. Stability is good. You can't have civilization, or economic progress, or anything good really without stability.

You are also literally uninformed. I show you real life video of Trump saying/doing something that directly contradicts a statement that you make, and you don't respond.
Why? Because you are lazy. And you think that's okay, because Trump encourages you to be lazy.
He loves the poor and uneducated because they don't push back.
Also, how am I stuck on orange man bad? I can evaluate what he says on a case by case basis, but you are so intellectually lazy that you just throw up your hands and say fuck it. Too many words. I can watch video clips on YouTube instead. God damn media. Bill Gates banged a dolphin. Maybe I can cure COVID by drinking bleach. Who needs journalism, I can just scroll my social media feed and that's good enough for me. I've just had two Monster energy drinks, I should have another one. I think it's really cool to make a lot of noise on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I want to spend my life savings on an NFT.
Okay, that last one went too far. I won't accuse you of that, because there is no way you can possibly be dumb enough to fall for buying an NFT.

I gotta say, it was nice and cathartic to write all this out. I'm normally a mild-mannered guy, but again - this is the kind of discourse and environment Trump encourages. Hostility. Division. Personal attacks.
If life was like this all the time, God help us.

It's thin blue line as long as the police does what conservatives want them to do. As soon as the FBI does something they don't want they suddenly are just like the extreme left wanting to defund the police
