16. Intelligence assets reportedly died due to this leak

What everyone conveniently ignores on the Republican side is that this leak outed a deep cover agent and reportedly may have led to the deaths of some of our intelligence assets.

Whether that rises to the level of treason or not is up for discussion. But Scooter Libby did go to jail over it.

Clinton has been exhaustively investigated and the emails that are being obsessed over reportedly involved things that shouldn't have been deemed classified.

Oh, and no CIA agents were outed and no intelligence assets died.

You could follow up Valerie Plame with Alberto Gonzalez/Karl Rove... Remember that one? And then there's the well known fact that Dubya had his own server and so, apparently, did Colin Powell and Dick Cheney. Etcetera, etcetera.

How relative their morals are when it is someone from the other party. Moral relativism indeed.
