What if the blowback for the Benghazi investigation and the Clinton email investigation had been what the Republicans are now demanding? Trump and his disciples insist that the federal investigation's conclusions, or in some cases, lack thereof, mean that no one can ever even consider thinking that he might be guilty of anything ever again. Republicans are insisting that Democrats resign if they demanded investigations or suggested that there were serious legal issues to consider. Republicans are insisting that there can be no follow-up investigations because one and only one investigation is how this kind of thing is handled. Instead, maybe we should just investigate the Democrats who demanded investigations of Trump.
Had these rules been followed for Hillary Clinton, no one ever could have impugned her after the first Bengazi investigation, nor after Comey found no basis for prosecution. Those who had demanded investigations of Hillary Clinton, furthermore, should have resigned in disgrace after she had been cleared the first time. Consider, for example, Trey Gowdy and Darrell Issa. And of course, do we even have to get into the matter of "LOCK HER UP, LOCK HER UP!"?
