Watch: Daily Show supercut hilariously trolls Trump allies over Hillary Clinton hypocrisy
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's execution of a search warrant at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida on Monday triggered a tsunami of right-wing outrage toward the United States Department of Justice.
Trump and his supporters have accused the federal government of conducting a politically-motivated phishing expedition in its pursuit of classified documents that were removed from the White House at the end of Trump's term. They also have claimed that combing through Trump's residence is unacceptable because he is expected to announce a run for reelection.
But that was not the tune that GOP voters were singing in 2016 when Trump squared off against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. The conservative movement demanded that the authorities "lock her up" for using a private email server to conduct official business and unintentionally mislabeling State Department memos. The FBI cleared Clinton of wrongdoing.

On Tuesday, The Daily Show produced a supercut highlighting the hypocrisy of Trump's allies "talking about Hillary" while showing FBI agents entering Mar-a-Lago.

The FBI stepping forward at this moment has demonstrated real integrity.
Erstwhile Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly:
When you have a presidential candidate, the FBI has a duty to We the People to investigate any appearance of impropriety.
Right-wing author Marc Levin:
Patriotic FBI agents are pushing and trying to do something but this requires a full, comprehensive investigation.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro:
I dunno what took the FBI so long to try to get it.
Former Congressman Darryl Issa (R-California):
She made a choice to leave government with all of these documents as though they were her property.
Fox News commentator Paul Gigot:
The clear intent to evade the Federal Records Act. That's mishandling classified information. Why wouldn't the FBI act on that?
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner:
I mean come on are we supposed to believe that after over time that she just didn't know what the rules were?
Pirro again:
It is a federal crime to negligently handle classified information.
Fox News personality Sean Hannity:
Multiple felonies that we're talking about here.
Pirro a third time:
My verdict, based on the evidence, is guilty.
