I read Jimmy Carter and the Clintons charged a huge amount to stay in guest houses on their property. So, let’s put this all in perspective.
It is a standard arrangement that the Secret Service provide payment to homeowners for space used by the agency in such situations. The Clintons did not take it upon themselves to “charge the Secret Service rent.” The amount provided is based on a government formula, not set by the homeowner, and in the Clintons’ case this amount was $1,100. (Note that this figure was not chosen by the Clintons, and it was well short of their monthly mortgage payment.)
It"s standard journalistic practice to exclude exculpatory information if a Republican ox is being gored.
