The liberal media lapdogs are circling the wagons to protect Hillary Clinton from her latest scandal by dragging any Republican they can into the fray.

ABC News Tuesday tried to equate the use of a personal email address by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, on his business card to Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email address when she was secretary of state, an apparent violation of the Federal Records Act.

“Hillary Clinton isn’t the only official who uses a non-government email address,” blared the lede.

Just one problem.

Members of Congress aren’t subject to Federal Records Act — a fact ABC News didn’t bother to mention until the end of the article.

Chaffetz appeared on Fox and Friends Wednesday to address to non-controversy.

“That’s like comparing apples to a boat,” he told host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. “I am not subject, as a member of Congress, to the Federal Records Act. I have two different emails. A House account, but I also have that card there which was paid for by campaign funds. And so it’s kind of ridiculous.”

Ridiculous yes. But not surprising that Clinton’s worker bees are surrounding the queen.

ABC reporter Jonathan Karl had to backtrack on Twitter and the Twitterverse pounced on him.

.@jasoninthehouse points out Congress is not subject to the Fed Records Act. True. Also says he did not use govt funds to pay for his card

@jonkarl @moxiemom @jasoninthehouse And he’s not a central target of foreign espionage. IT’S A TERRIBLE ANALOGY PUT FORWARD BY HACKS.

did you bother to check the law yourself before running this? Obviously no, right? @jonkarl @jasoninthehouse

@AceofSpadesHQ the speed in which idiots like @jonkarl will run into a wall in order to prove “rebubs do it to” makes my lambo look slow

.@R_Orzechowski i thought @jonkarl was a fairly balanced reporter. which makes this #HackWork all the more strange.

@jonkarl @jasoninthehouse he’s also not Secretary of State. You should find a new profession – preferably one you’re good at.

@jonkarl @jasoninthehouse You know who else never registered e-mail account with State? Henry Kissinger. Better check on Liddy, Jon.

.@jonkarl Typical leftist rag reporting. That’s why I stopped watching @ABC #RIPjournalism @jasoninthehouse

@jonkarl Is this a retraction? Why do you clarify that “Congress is not subject” at the bottom of your piece? Apologize to @jasoninthehouse

@jonkarl @jasoninthehouse The media has come a long way from Cronkite hasnt it? Wouldve taken 10 secs of research to not look like a lapdog.
