Rachel Maddow reported last night that after Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin finished briefing a bipartisan group of House members yesterday about the admin’s decision to drop sanctions against Manafort’s BFF Oleg Deripaska, he complained to reporters about having having to take a whole 1½ hours out of his Snidely Whiplash day to schlep up to the Hill and explain himself.
(I couldn’t find any news stories on this, but you can hear Rachel report it starting at 3:56 in the video below….)
This will no doubt cause a thousand tiny violins to be broken out by HRC supporters who remember her her 11 hour grilling by the Republican House’s Benghazi Committee which led to exactly no conclusions being found and no charges brought.

…to answer for actions that will financially benefit a Russian Oligarch who likely tampered with our 2016 election.
HRC could have done an hour and a half standing on her head…
