“Hey Ned, since you were in favor of impeachment and removal of Bill Clinton, shouldn’t the same standards apply now to Orange as to what constitutes an appropriate offense for impeachment and removal?”
Ned: (while shuffling) “Well yes that’s how I felt back then, but I have since evolved and changed my view on what the standard should be. So now I feel that a stricter standard should be applied (of course uniformly to both parties).”
“But Ned isn’t that awful convenient to have changed your standard now that it’s a Republican who is facing possible impeachment?”
Ned (now really shuffling): “Of course not because my change has nothing to do with politics. I have just grown and evolved.”
So how about when you change your standard as to when lying to the FBI should be prosecuted (which solely by chance will occur the next time a prominent D is charged with it)?
