It's just a play on words. Democrat is caught in a Chinese Honeypot, so the article reflects that. That's it. The article is about much more than that.

BTW, calling Tucker "partisan" is only accurate insomuch as he has a strong position against leftists, their perspective and agenda. This is in the same vein as calling Lincoln partisan for his perspective on the South, or Washington partisan for his perspective on England and those against independence.

Sometimes the high moral ground is to be what so many today call "partisan". We are in a battle for the country's soul right now as Russia was about 100 years ago and France was in the 19th century. All reasonable and informed people are taking a side.

Sorry Addled Homie, but that is just a titillating title to draw the reader into a less interesing article. An age old tactic practiced by all journalism.

Nice call to arms closing though.

China's not worried about elections and other democracy stuff (sarcasm) that's why they can plan ahead for the next ten years or so. In America political parties dependant on voters look ahead to the next election instead of concentrating on the long game.

Ok so in my opinion that is a problem with our justice system. I would think the reason for this would be it's just an investigation and no one is found guilty until the investigation is over, so, an investigation shouldn't change public opinion. Is that correct?

Now if that is the case shouldn't all investigations, into our elected officials, be kept in the dark till there is an outcome as not to persuade public opinion till there is a determination?

One other thing. Not to get to far off but I think presidents being pardoned for crimes should not happen. Equal justice under the law?

Pardon power, like any power, can be abused. I guess we should not count on the goodness and integrity of the President, and have some degree of check on the power. Require constitutional amendment though.

Self-pardons should not fly, that's for sure. Supreme Court might well shoot that idea down if it is ever tested.
