Hillary Slams ‘Grotesque’ Trump Pardons, Benghazi Hero Quickly Steps In with a Humiliating Reminder

There have been recent media reports that President Donald Trump would use his executive power of clemency to issue pardons on behalf of several military members who were facing prosecution or have already been convicted of various “war crimes” alleged to have been committed during service overseas.

Of course, a host of the president’s critics lashed out at the news, accusing him of undermining justice, allowing malevolent criminals to walk free or even of committing war crimes of his own.

One of those who was unsurprisingly critical of the potential pardons was Trump’s failed opponent in the 2016 election, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

What is amazing to me in this whole "obstruction" debate is how quickly the grants of immunity to 5 key people in the Clinton email investigation have been forgotten.  Mueller used a common prosecutorial tactic in bringing charges against key Trump associates, and then using that as leverage to get cooperation against other witnesses.  But in Hillary's email scandal, Obama's DOJ did the opposite.  They granted immunity to five Hillary aides most likely to have committed criminal acts, which meant that not only could they not be prosecuted, but none of them ever had any incentive to turn on Hillary.  Obama's DOJ deliberately torpedoed the investigation into Hillary's emails.
