But it's not a "both sides" argument. It's an analogy intended to represent the thought process of Trump, his team, and the shitheads that follow him and may see this the same way a Bernie supporter might see Bernie doing something that he believes in. Obviously, what Trump did is a crime, and @grahamsz is just trying to point out what that might look like from another perspective. It seems you've jumped on this and feel as though he is trying to make an argument that both sides are shitty. It's pretty clear just by reading it that he is not (assuming a user called graham is a "he"). You are arguing against something he's not saying.
Thank you!
I also see a lot of gloating among the left wing that "haha, even trump's lawyers admit he broke the law" like that means anything at all. This is a calculated move that tries to control the narrative and play into his delusion that he's a poor oppressed hero who won't give up the good fight.
