Hillary was complaining about (inflated) $4.5 million dollars spent on investigating Benghazi.
Let's see here ...
- Several Americans dead
- Hillary sent a sacrificial lamb with false statements to the media
- Hillary has deflected the CIA created those "talking points," but it was later shown State modified them
- Hillary has had to repeatedly backtrack on statements, as those in State cross her under investigation
I'll agree with Hillary, the Republicans went after her. No argument. It's partisan politics.
However, let's compare this to ...
- Plame's name was leaked by Richard Armitage
- Democrats spent 3 years trying to pin it on Scooter Libby
- Spent $2.5M on the lawsuit alone (tens of millions on other things)
- Democrats threw reporters in jail for refusing to name their sources**
- No one died
I hate W. for pardoning Libby. That was executive power abuse, just like Ford for Nixon.
But Libby was never guilty of anything more than lying, which is the same thing that got Bill Clinton. Even though most Americans believe Libby leaked Plame's name, the 3 year investigation didn't come to an end until Armitage finally cop'd to it, and he was never charged.
And no one died in the Plame case. Even the NY Times admitted influenced no one on Iraq.
So ... Hillary really has a nice glass house.
**MSNBC ironically and humorously even tries to attribute this to W., merely because he was President at the time.
