That's fair, this is free country. (for at least a little while more)

It would be just as heinous.

So it's better that these same news media are sweeping such a illegal act
by republicans under the rug -- if it's bad it's bad.  I doubt there will
be any chargers brought either, but there would be is a democrat did it...

The penalty shouldn't just be the staffers who do it, it should go all the
way to whoever uses and /or orders such illegal acts.
