Double standard indeed.

Hillary pressed Putin on human rights while Trump saw no reason not to believe Putin on Russia's election tampering. Oh and basic human rights is something Putin doesn't have to worry about Trump trying to push on him on that front.



As I detailed at length elsewhere, Trump is imposing financial and military and oil/gas industry punishment on Putin like no other president has put on Russia. A few assuring words to Putin at a press conference in a gesture of diplomacy is insignificant, as contracted with the actions of Trump's opposition to Russia on the world stage. In Venezuela, in Ukraine, in Syria/Iraq, finaancial restrictions on Russia in western nations, providing oil to European nations that makes them no longer dependent on Russian oil, and the resultant plummet in Russian oil revenues.



Clinton wasn't tricked the way investigators were trying to trick Trump. Clinton was being very cocky and smugly bluffing his way through the deposition. He was treating it like a game. He was being evasive and arrogantly evading the truth, saying he didn't have sex with Lewinsky, and with a smirk avoiding that he did have oral sex, and manually stimulated Lewinsky's genitalia, and penetrate her with a cigar.
And as I recall, Clinton would have gotten away with that, but Lewinsky produced a semen-stained blue dress that proved he was lying, perjuring himself under oath, and perjured himself against what he'd testified in the Paula Jones case. Which is why Clinton settled for $900,000.
And was censured, and disbarred as a lawyer, and paid an additional $60,000 fine.

A huge difference from the case with Trump. Clinton was actually guilty, defiantly guilty.
Trump they are just trying to entrap with any technicality they can manufacture.
