Hillary Clinton is arguing that had it not been for the fact that President Trump was president, he would’ve been indicted for obstruction of justice. This coming from the same person who got away with doing something that would’ve landed us in hot water.<\/p>\n

She’s insinuating that the Mueller Report made it clear that this would’ve been President Trump’s fate. From CNN:<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton pointed to the obstruction section of the redacted Mueller report released last week, saying it “could not be clearer” in compelling Congress to act.<\/p>\n

“Basically what I thought it was saying is, ‘Look, we think he obstructed justice — here are 11 examples of why we think he obstructed justice, but we’re under the control of the Justice Department, and their rule is you can’t indict,’ ” she said.<\/p>\n

“But we do have checks and balance in America, and there is this thing called the Congress,” Clinton continued. “I mean you could not be more explicit than, ‘Please, look at this. You may look at it and conclude that it doesn’t rise to an impeachable offense — that’s your job — but I’m giving this to you.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her talk about Congress’s oversight of the President’s actions here is based on the report. The Mueller Report references constitutional procedures related to when Congress takes actions related to the President’s action. This part of the report doesn’t argue that President Trump committed obstruction to justice. It simply stated the procedures that the constitution lays out.<\/p>\n

From the Mueller Report:<\/span><\/p>\n

The anticipated effect of removing the FBI director, however, would not necessarily be to prevent or impede the FBI from continuing its investigation. As a general matter, FBI investigations run under the operational direction of FBI personnel levels below the FBI director. Bannon made a similar point when he told the President that he could fire the FBI director, but could not fire the FBI. The White House issued a press statement the day after Comey was fired that said, “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it.” In addition, in his May 11 interview with Lester Holt, the President stated that he understood when he made the decision to fire Comey that the action might prolong the investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was insufficient evidence to support an obstruction to justice conclusion. This can’t be said with regards to Hillary’s actions regarding emails that should’ve stayed within the proper channels. Why all the destruction on her part? Unlike the president’s case, Hillary’s case has smoke rising from it.<\/p>\n
