Laws don't care about biases. He didn't break the law because he was Republican, he broke the law because he's a moron. And then he said it on tape. And also on that tape, he said he was breaking the law, and explained how he was doing it.

The simple solution for not getting arrested by political opponents is...don't break the law. I do it every day and I'm yet to be arrested.
