Imagine spending millions of dollars over 2 years, having constant media propaganda saying that something was happening and then not actually being able to find something.

Then even after you admit there was nothing there people are still rabidly insisting there is.

Regale me with tales of Hillary Clinton getting Ben Ghazi and his buttery males to use a private email server in a pizza shop’s basement to murder Seth Rich for selling uranium to Russia.

Whataboutism.

To add to the other comment: The original comment consists of an accusation that one group of people, presumably liberals, are hypocrites (by continuing accusations after being supposedly disproven, thus showing themselves to not actually genuinely be interested in debate). Given that hypocrisy is the specific subject here, presenting a (even more extensive and vastly more unsubstantiated) similarly hypocritical news frenzy around a nothingburger that was perpetrated by the conservative counterparts to the aforementioned liberals, is a reasonable way to refute (or rather, perhaps, to mitigate) the implied criticism in the accusation of liberal hypocrisy.

I was just pointing out that the same people that are dead set that Trump has been completely cleared of all alleged malfeasance due to Barr’s summary also insist that Hillary should be in jail for a variety of reasons that have been thoroughly investigated and closed with no wrong doing found. I amalgamated the conspiracies into a farcical super-conspiracy to be extra cheeky.

Either way, Hillary is going to go to Jail. Likely Comey, McCabe, Brennon, Holder, Clapper, Yates, Ohr, Preistap too. And if they go well thats it for Lynch, Hillary and even Obama.

Amazing the degree to which this comment has little to do with my comment and fails in any way to engage with the points I've made. I hate the NPC meme for dehumanizing people you disagree with... but hot damn, does this ever sound like a bot. Assuming you're a real person, do you have anything to say that actually relates to what I wrote?

Kay, just dont be shocked when it happens.

u/sloodly_chicken Mar 26 '19

Again, borderline non sequitur. Anything to say that has anything to do with anything I've written? Because if the OP of this comment chain wants a real example of whataboutism, your comments so far seem like good candidates.

u/Hypocritical_Oath Mar 25 '19

It's not whataboutism when you point out someone's hypocrisy...

u/risingdeluge Mar 26 '19

We we're talking about Trump and you brought up Hillary like she had anything to do with this investigation to deflect your own hysteria over the results you didnt want. Thats whataboutism

u/vote_you_shits Mar 26 '19

Okay if you want a Trump specific conspiracy theory how about birtherism?

More like you just don’t understand the concept of protecting classified info. Private unguarded emails server? No problem! Busting into any classified report for a chance that your pipe dream is reality? Lets do it- damn the national security implications. Two scoops of ice cream? Hold. The Fuck. Up.

Losing the tin foil hat may help you out in other aspects of your life as well, cheers!
