    Why does seemingly every accusation from a conservative politician end up being an admission?

      Conservative minds are more fear based. Narcissistic, sociopathic minds run for office. Fear based sociopathic and narcissistic minds aren’t flexible enough to see something from someone else’s point of view and assume that their own view is the only logical choice. Therefore they project.

      Conservative media tells them that the people they don’t like are doing bad things every day.

      I think this (and often their faith) helps them not feel so bad about projecting.

      The Republican party is a criminal conspiracy and frustrating and confusing people’s judgment is their best legal defense

      What if… she made those comments knowing her son was going to be arrested, so she could say to her base that it was a set up/retaliation for what she had said? (Too conspiratorial? )
