I can almost guarantee there's more to the story than what was presented by Ted Lieu. But I just don't care to break it down. It's rare that a politician tries to be unbiased and present information in an open and contextual way.

There are only two ways that Lieu's list might be deceptive.  One is if many folks in the orbit of prominent Democrats have been convicted of similar crimes recently, and the media chose not to cover those stories.
Two is that investigation and prosecution in this country, whether led by democrats or by Republicans, is choosing to ignore elite crimes by everyone except for people in Trump's orbit.
I don't think anyone believes the first possibility.
Many believe the second, because that's the one Trump and his followers sell us, but it's pretty obviously a joke if you think about it for more than 2 minutes.
