Lawrence raising point: Hillary is to Benghazi as Barr is to Epstein (right-wing hypocrisy)

If Hillary is "somehow responsible" for what happened in Libya, then why wouldn't Barr be responsible for what happened to a prisoner under the control of his DOJ via the Federal prison system????

situation with as few casualties as there were and the almost never spoken about numbers of survivors snuck out under Libyan militia noses and Barr's unbroken record of failure and lies?

The GOP cut funding for embassy security in Libya, it was in another country and we were in the midst of wars on terrorism.

VS.

The Trump administration imposing a hiring freeze and budget cuts on the Bureau of Prisons, which is in the U.S. and they had a job to keep one person alive.

The GOP cutting funding in both instances.

While the top should be held accountable Barr's job was a LOT easier to manage stateside.
He should resign. He is already mudding the waters once again.
