They weren't discussing precedent in a legal sense, they were pointing out how Trump and others keep highlighting how it's unprecedented for a former president to have his residence raided by the FBI. The precedent is now there to go after other former presidents.
Ya, I get it. But it is something that has been going on completely one sided for decades. Republicans are like 98% of the fall guys for misbehavior in office. While possibly being just 20% of the misbehavers. If you are a dem, you can count on the spin machine defending you 999 out of 1000 times. A republican never gets the spin machine.
I guess my gripe is considering this double standard as a new development. That is all.

It's precedent in the court of public opinion.
