Trump was Trump before he got into politics. It's not bogus and it's not nonsense. We shouldn't be saying that as soon as you get elected to public office, no laws apply to you anymore. That is the argument that is being made when saying that it is all political. You're also wrong to say that these people all engage in these behaviors. In the US, at least, both parties dig up any dirt they can on their opponents and little is found in most cases.

Everybody makes mistakes. In US politics these days, you will never escape any that you have ever made, which makes them the most highly vetted people in the country. Cynicism is a powerful tool. Once you believe that nobody in government will be held to account, then nobody in government will be held to account...for anything.
