Fales equivalence, out the wazoo.
Have you ever noticed that the ONLY ones who throw up their hands and say 'they're all the same' are the righties?
I suspect it's partly because too much heavy lifting to check things out, but mostly the suspicion that if they do it's not going to come up the way they think/hope.
The below is especially galling because of the moral posturing and finger wagging from the right, and of course the 'lock her up' bullshit that grows more ironic by the day.
Measurables, on the fuck up scale:

This includes individuals associated with each President’s private business, campaign, or appointed executive office. For Trump, the top number represents Americans, while the second number in [brackets] represents both Americans and foreign nationals.
If you don’t include foreigners involved in the Trump Campaign, Team Trump already has more people indicted and convicted that any Democratic President in the last 50 years.
