I haven't downplayed anything. If it's fucked up I say it's fucked up. If something can be equated then ok. When things aren't on the same level I also can see that. You seem to struggle with realizing things that aren't on the same level can't be equated. You want both sides to be the same when they clearly aren't at the moment.

If trump was hacking journalists, spying on all their contacts, threatening journalist with jail time if they don't testify, it'd hit different for u. For me it doesn't. Both sides are the same that's just my opinion.

We can end it here, until next time.

Well I never said any of that was ok because Obama did it or tried to say "Hey they did it too but..." and again you said yourself trump escalated it. So yes by nature an escalation does hit different.

The spirit of what the Pentagon is doing is cloaked in "national security interest" to restrict journalists from soliciting classified (or as the policy states "unauthorized") materials.

'Optical illusion' swastika flags distributed to multiple congressional offices prompt investigation: sources

Sources say the swastika flag in Republican Rep. Dave Taylor's office was part of mysterious deliveries to congressional offices, with the hate symbol hidden until captured on camera.

Multiple sources tell Fox News that what appeared to be a swastika flag in Republican Rep. Dave Taylor’s D.C. office may actually be an American flag with a hidden pattern visible only on camera — an "optical illusion" similar to flags quietly delivered to dozens of congressional offices now under investigation.

The flag was spotted Wednesday in a photo of a staffer's desk in Taylor's office, prompting a vandalism investigation by U.S. Capitol Police.

Sources, including those investigating the issue, said the American flag had a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving, making it hard to see with the naked eye.

However, when captured on video or in a still image, they said the symbol becomes clear.

One source described the alleged manufacturing tactic as an "optical illusion." Another said the swastika was "easy to miss."

The flag was seemingly one of many dropped off at dozens of congressional offices early in the year by an undetermined group.

One office staffer said the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out.

However, sources noted the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera.

Authorities are investigating which group distributed the flags, and if they knew the swastika was embedded into the flag.

It remains unclear whether the distribution was an effort to covertly distribute American flags bearing hidden swastikas to lawmakers, or to deliberately embarrass congressional offices by giving them deceptive flags donning the hate symbol.

In a statement to Fox News Wednesday afternoon, Taylor noted "numerous" Republican offices were "targeted" by the group accused of distributing the flags.

"New details have emerged from a coordinated investigation into the vile symbol that appeared in my office," Taylor wrote. "Numerous Republican offices have confirmed that they were targeted by an unidentified group or individual who distributed American flags bearing a similar symbol, which were initially indistinguishable from an ordinary American flag to the naked eye. My office was among those that were subjected to this ruse."
