"If I, a guy who knows this business, if I did a tenth, a tenth of what she did, I would be in jail today." (Michael Flynn at the 2016 Republican National Convention, referring to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.)
Looks like we can remove the conditional "if," and the percentage may be off a bit. The "today" part is undetermined.

TAX REFORM
The political hypocrisy and the tangible outcomes of that
So far, the Republican agenda is rolling right along:
Appoint right-wing ideologues to the judiciary? Check.
Tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy? Check.
Tax hikes for the poor and middle class? Check.
Increase the federal deficit so that they can later claim we desperately need to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security? Check.
After vowing to return to "regular order" in Congress, trashing any pretense of it and strong-arming major legislation through without a single hearing or even a chance to read it? Check.
