They Should Try The Clinton Defense?

So, the U.S. Department of Justice is throwing one of their own under the bus for misconduct in public office while the DOJ/FBI/Loretta Lynch were giving Hillary Clinton a free pass on all of her Benghazi e-mails
From jsonline: Former U.S. Attorney James Santelle, who retired abruptly last year in the midst of a Department of Justice investigation into his suspect misuse of a government credit card and for hosting political fundraisers, broke department policies when holding those political events, a report issued Tuesday found.
A 59-page report from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector said that Santelle held a political fund-raiser for Mary Burke in 2013, a Democrat who ran for governor in Wisconsin against Scott Walker. Santelle also was planning an event for Jon Richards, a Democrat, who was running for attorney general.
"As detailed in this report, we found that Santelle violated department policy based on his conduct with respect to the Burke and Richards campaign events. We also found that Santelle violated the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch governing fundraising and endorsements based on his participation in multiple non-political fundraising events. We also found that Santelle lacked candor and exhibited poor judgment," the report said.   http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/milwaukee/2016/08/16/former-us-attorney-held-political-fundraiser/88823188/
Another evil thing Hillary did was dumb down misconduct rules in the DOJ and U.S. State Department.
What are the staffers say to the DOJ or State Department colleagues break the rules and they use the Clinton defense: I was stupid, I didn't mean to do it, it was a mistake etc....
And those bringing the allegations can look like idiots when they have nothing to say in response.
And btw, Santelle was appointed by Obama.
