7. Answer: They get away with it because WE (DEMS) don't punish them harshly enough when we can

When they control Congress, they have endless investigations and hearings over imaginary crimes and fake scandals, and when we control Congress, we're all about taking impeachment off the table and "looking ahead" despite their actual crimes. Now that Trump has the presidency, he wants fake investigations of his fake wiretap allegations. When we had the presidency, there was real evidence that suggested collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, and yet we didn't launch an investigation for fear of looking "too partisan". And so on, and so forth.

The GOP is run by career criminals and serial liars. They are rotten, sleazy, and totally corrupt. We have repeatedly failed to hold them to account when we had the chance. As long as we let them get away with it, they will.
