Gregg Jarrett: Hillary Clinton must face the consequences of her actions and the scrutiny of a special counsel
Fox News, Nov 14, 2017, Gregg Jarrett
There is no station in life or standing in government or political aspiration that absolves someone from criminal conduct. In this way, we are all creatures of the law and are bound to obey it. An orderly society cannot function if it permits individuals to disregard the law with impunity.
This fundamental principle, enunciated by the U.S. Supreme Court more than a century ago, is what gives sustenance to our democracy. Without it, lawlessness, chaos and tyranny at the hands of the few would inexorably ensue.
It follows, then, that Clinton is no higher or lower than any American. She must abide by the rule of law regardless of her condition or circumstance. Running for high office, including the presidency, does not somehow establish an entitlement to legal absolution.

Well, I have no hope that Clinton will ever face up to her criminality in her lifetime. Maybe in the next.
As an aside, good to see Gregg Jarrett back, if only in print.
