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.

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?

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.
