claiming hypocrisy in cases like this is missing the point. they have completely consistent beliefs: they and their friends should be able to do whatever they want without consequence, and everyone else should be subservient to them.

Helps to point out that, in their confirmations, the question was if the PRESIDENT was above the law. The question was not predicated on “if you personally like the president and owe him a favor.” Totally different standard of justice. The law is a precise endeavor you know

Their hypocrisy is a display of power. They advertise it. Everyone else sputters and points, failing to grasp that they are just seeing a reminder of who is the master.

Authoritarianism traffics in the currency of power, not credibility.

The inhumane aren’t internally motivated to behave humanely

We can’t shame the shameless
We can’t guilt the remorseless
We can’t plead for empathy from those who lack it

We can only force them to behave humanely

And it seems too many people are too eager to let that be the case. We used to beat people up for what Republicans are doing, now people act as though we need a specific evil party that gets away with everything.
