Pro tip: Using the words 'Hillary Clinton' and 'video' in the same tweet is asking for trouble

The Donald Trump outrage of the moment (it might change in the time it takes to read this post) centers on Trump’s claim to have seen video shot by Iran of $400 million worth of cash being unloaded from a plane in Tehran.

Video: Trump AGAIN talks about a tape showing a plane full of $$$ being unloaded in Iran. The tape does not exist. https://t.co/YtHPPEDqTe

Trump just said 3 times that the Iranians "provided us with a tape" of the $400 million arriving in Iran. "A tape was made," he says.

this is stunning. who would actually believe there was a camera in TEHRAN when an UNMARKED PLANE lands? https://t.co/YZxLYGNkf6

Not a bad point, but it doesn’t really help the administration’s claim that the secret cash delivery via an unmarked plane had nothing to do the release of four Americans.

Trump is blatantly lying about seeing "secret" Iran footage that doesn't exist, reports @nancyayoussef https://t.co/HQz50aCTmz

We get it — the tape doesn’t exist and Trump is delusional. The Daily Beast’s Olivia Nuzzi took things a step further, inviting followers to play, “What if Hillary had said it?”

Imagine the outrage, and concern trolling about her mental health, if Clinton claimed to have seen a "secret" video that doesn't exist.

At least in Hillary Clinton’s case a video really did exist, although just about everything else about her Benghazi story has been proved to have been a lie. In fact, rather than videos that don’t exist, Clinton’s problem seems to be video that does exist but doesn’t match her much more colorful recollections of events.

well, she did have the sniper fire claim. and there was outrage.

@thedailybeast No she claimed to run under sniper fire in Bosnia Unfortunately for Hillary the video did exist

Crazy is pretty harsh; let’s go with the words of her closest aide, who described her in an email as “often confused.”

You mean like imagining your were being attacked at the airport in Afghanistan & film proved it was kids with flowers? Mental @Olivianuzzi

or claimed to have sprinted across an airport runway under sniper fire while simultaneously receiving a welcome bouquet…

A welcome bouquet … OF SNIPER FIRE. But seriously, imagine the media outrage if Clinton went on TV and lied repeatedly about the FBI investigation into her emails. Or if CBS cut from its “60 Minutes” broadcast the bit where she claimed to have heard nothing about the leak of DNC emails that managed at long last to pry Debbie Wasserman Schultz from her position as chair of the Democrat Party.
