“It’s no longer fun when the rabbit’s holding the gun” is a witty retort to describe a turning of the tables. It’s the perfect expression to describe the reactions of Democrats and left-wing media pundits after the details of special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation were revealed on Thursday. A group of people who brazenly supported investigating former President Donald Trump under the guise of “protecting democracy” went apoplectic when a Democratic president was facing legal inquiries.

Consider recent commentary on MSNBC Thursday night about Hur’s report. The hard-left heft of the network — Ari Melber, Christopher Hayes, Joy Reid, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Rachel Maddow — were none too pleased with Hur’s description of the decline in Biden’s mental faculties. They even tried to delegitimize the report by linking Hur as a “Trump holdover” – a tactic that these very people criticized when Republicans made such inferences about special counsels.
