Second, he was on trial for having a different recollection of events from reporters. That’s equally explained by a difference in memories. I’ll will accept the jury verdict, however. But remember, it’s not that anything was hidden; the reporter’s view of events still got heard.

So Scooter got a quarter-million dollar fine and 2 1/2 years in jail for lying in an investigation, and Sandy got a $50,000 fine and no jail time for stealing and destroying documents related to national security and lying in an investigation.

Huge, huge disparity, yet the press and the Democrats have virtually nothing to say about Sandy.
