The US Justice Department investigated Deutch and determined the top spook broke the law for doing essentially the same thing Hillary Clinton did when she used her private e-mail server to conduct classified government business.
While Clinton got a pass, Deutch had agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information in a deal with the feds — but beat the rap when he got a last-minute pardon from then-President Bill Clinton in January 2001, right before he left office.
The pardon spared Deutch from any criminal charges for mishandling top-secret information on his home computer.
It was later revealed that Clinton had not even consulted CIA Chief George Tenet or any other CIA officials on the decision to pardon Deutch, who served from 1995 to 1996.
