Imagine that you're cruising along the expressway at the same speed as the other vehicles. Suddenly the flashing lights of a DPS car appears behind you, the officer pulls you over and issues a speeding ticket. But all the others were doing it too! Why me?
That's the way many conservatives view the current probe into the alleged Russian connection with the Trump campaign which seems to be expanding into every conceivable direction so long as it could damage Donald Trump.
But what about the abuse of power by Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, and others who helped Clinton? So far, it seems only conservatives are complaining.
At least some give the appearance of try to do something about it. These guys, Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Mike Johnson (R-La.), stuck an amendment to a Democrat's bill. The original bill was an effort to get information on Trump that would be embarrassing. And the amendment sought information about Clinton, Lynch, and Comey. So it's really a slap-back. And the bill, with or without the amendment, probably wouldn't pass anyway, so it's all just theater.
See House conservatives push for a probe of Comey and Clinton campaign.
Same thing at House conservatives gunning for probe of James Comey and Hillary Clinton.

Well, it's a start.
