You mean like when the Obama administration wasn't petty and didn't jail a journalist for not revealing sources on a story with no real importance and merit?

Every administration is made of people. People are petty. This is why the government should be as big as necessary and no bigger.

Good old whataboutism, obviously any administration that does at least one bad thing is equally corrupt. There's no possible reason to distinguish between how corrupt two different corrupt actions are or how many of them there are beyond a single one, right?

I mean yeah that sucked. Won’t excuse that one bit.

Therefore that must mean this administration has totally been above board and has steered clear of weaponizing any petty grievances.
