This is not whataboutism. It’s pointing out hypocrisy of a party that is over the last 8 years have first failed at holding DJT accountable and now are actively collaborating on enabling his authoritarian state by first confirming his incompetent cabinet, then by voting for his bills and now trying to placate voters by “doing an effort” to release the files.
Not to mention railing against democratic candidates who have popular support in their own party.
There’s a broader context, but you know that or you wouldn’t start swearing the second someone disagrees with you.
It may be all those things, but it doesn’t change that it is whataboutism. I’m not here defending anybody. They should have built a case and prosecuted it when they had the chance. In fact, even though typically straight up releasing files like this while there is pending prosecution is a huge mistake, I still think they should have been released.
But only one group campaigned on this to this extent, then did a complete about-face to cover it up.
And I’m sorry for using harsh language; I thought that was allowed around here.
