Ask a Republican: When Hillary Clinton was investigated for Benghazi and the emails...

[DetlefK]

... how often did she screech hysterically on Twitter about witch-hunts, illegal scams and fake news?

Now that Trump is under investigation, how often has he screeched hysterically on Twitter about witch-hunts, illegal scams and fake news?

1. You might also ask how many times they asked for the investigations to be halted

because they had gone on too long.

[aggiesal]

17. Or how many indictments and convictions?

0 Indictments
0 Convictions

Under IQ45
20+ Indictments
5 guilt pleas

[Arkansas Granny]

24. Another good point.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Just imagine Trump sitting thru an 11 hour Congressional grilling

Like Hillary did.
It would be the greatest show ever.
Think about Ted Lieu questioning Trump - now that would be xxx political porn.

[Afromania]

3. Trump can't even handle basic softball questions from reporters.

So I'm sure that if he had to deal with 11 hours they'd have to shovel his gelatinous remnants off the floor to get him out of there.

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. And it would be well before the 11 hour mark.

I don't think he could last an hour or two without an epic apoplectic fit.

[Afromania]

6. He'd make the hour, barely and he'd be a snivelling mess long before that

At some point, if he doesn't piss off to eternity first, he's going to have to sit for questioning about the doings of himself, or the people around him. Somebody is going to jail and I don't know if it will be the federal government or one of the states, but somebody IS going to jail; trump will be the star witness.

5. In today's climate, it could explain why she lost

she should have just told them to "go fuck themselves"!!!

[lastlib]

7. She would have artfully said "proceed with self-fornication".....

...being a former diplomat........

[safeinOhio]

8. Crooked Hillary released 40 years of tax returns

Not one years from Dirty Don.

[Raster]

9. We didn't have fake news until we got a fake president...

...just sayin'.

[2naSalit]

14. +1

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Bill Clinton sat through 6 years of an independent counsel

...that just gravitated from topic to topic without finding anything of substance until it settled on the most ridiculous, asinine reason to investigate a President ever...and yet it never affected his ability to govern.

And not once did he threaten to fire that independent counsel or impede its investigation at any time.

[NewJeffCT]

13. While Whitewater found nothing tied to the Clintons

there were several people indicted over it - Jim Guy Tucker, the Democratic Governor of Arkansas that followed Clinton resigned over one count of mail fraud. One count of mail fraud and he was forced to resign. Trump can get hit with 100+ counts of Obstruction of Justice and Witness Tampering, and dozens of other crimes, but I doubt he'd be forced to resign with the GOP in charge.

[zanana1]

15. They just about tortured the poor guy.

When I think about that I still get steamed. Trump did say one true thing; he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and get away with it.

[rurallib]

11. of course Hillary had nothing to hide unlike a certain orange man

[NewJeffCT]

12. The latest one I've been hearing is Uranium One

the *real* reason that Trump met alone with Putin in Helsinki was because Putin was going to hand over all the Uranium One evidence that implicates Hillary. The indictments are coming any day now... and, we know how good Trump is at being patient.

My response was that Hillary has been going to be indicted "any day now" for almost 30 years. Still no charges, no indictments and no convictions.

[40RatRod]

16. Great thread!

Thanks!

[Raven123]

18. Don't ask. They would claim she said nothing because she was guilty.

[Johnny2X2X]

19. Don't equate the 2 investigations

Hillary was investigated for several years and zero crimes were found and no one was indicted.

Trump has been investigated for a little over a year and a multitude of crimes have been found, dozens have been indicted, and some are already sitting in jail. By equating the 2 you give credibility to the wasteful and 100% politically motivated Benghazi investigation.

[NoMoreRepugs]

20. This. Equating the two - ridiculous. Comparing the two -

enlightening. Their is NO comparison. One is a partisan fantasy, the other a fight for democracy.

[ehrnst]

21. Even Colin Powell said Benghazi was a "stupid witch-hunt." (nt)

[heaven05]

22. he is a stupid

man. Just be careful not to underestimate his evil and the evil of those surrogates, all races, all cultures, around him.

23. K&R!
