This is one of their tactics they repeat because it works so well.

2. Sees that it may look odd enough that some Democrat may call for an investigation

3. Go on air and accuse your Democratic rival of the exact same thing

5. If we ever then finally DO accuse them of that same thing, it comes off as phony, as desperate, as a red herring, and GOP spokespersons make THAT the next news story. And then, at the very least, it comes across to the viewing public as BOTH sides accuse the other, and BOTH sides say they are innocent. And becomes more fuel on the democracy killing notion that politicians are all crooks and that's why I never vote mantra
