Democrat double standards: Comey, Mueller edition.

If you're old enough you'll remember when all Democrats were incensed that Comey said that Hillary had horribly mishandled highly classified data but that it wasn't a crime.

They said that if he wasn't prosecuting her he should have just said so and left it at that.

But today Mueller is saying that even though he can't find any evidence of Trump doing anything illegal he knows that Trump is a crook and Democrats are cheering.

What makes the situation even more vile is that in Comey's description of what Hillary did he established that she did in fact break the law right before he absolved her by effectively declaring she was above the law.  But in the case of Trump Mueller hasn't produced a single fact that shows that Trump did anything wrong.

Interestingly Mueller points to Trump's firing of Comey as something that might be obstruction.  The problem is that Rod Rosenstein, the man who appointed Mueller, said that Comey should be fired for his mishandling of the Hillary case; ie he said that the Democrats concerns about Comey's actions were valid.

So Mueller is saying that Trump might have obstructed justice for firing Comey for having violated FBI policies.

Comey lied about the law and cleared Hillary for crimes she clearly committed.

Mueller implied that Trump was guilty while admitting that he hadn't found any evidence of that.

That's the double standard; Democrats are innocent even when found guilty and Trump is guilty even when found innocent.
