While I totally agree there's an extreme double standard, at least one of those cases was settled somewhat correctly. Jim McDermott, the democrat, ended up stuck with a million dollar settlement to John Boehner over the wiretapped Gingrich strategy session. Of course the useful idiots who did the actual wiretapping went unpunished.

Correction to my previous post: the article I linked says the wiretappers were fined for breaking federal law. It doesn’t say how much.

I still call BS on that. It might have been a “couple” of Dem technical operatives, but I doubt it was that married couple acting independently.
