Every parent knows that when little Johnny gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar, he points to his sister and cries, What about Susie? No fair! Parents are too smart to fall for the deflection, knowing that whataboutism is what children do to excuse the inexcusable.

However, Donald Trump and his enablers are more than happy to spew forth a bucketful of irrelevant whataboutisms as their excuse for the apparent theft of top secret White House documents in direct violation of the Presidential Records Act. Moreover, Republican politicians are more than happy to twist themselves into pretzels as they deflect from evidence found at Mar-a-Lago relevant to possible violations of the Espionage Act. The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance, goes the saying often attributed to Albert Einstein.

We all knew six years ago when Team Trump was meeting with Russians in Trump Tower to get dirt on Hillary Clinton that this day was coming. And when the indictments are issued, the childish protestations of witch hunt will fall on deaf ears as Donald Trump invokes the Fifth Amendment while caterwauling, What about Susie?
