“Hillary couldn’t be proven guilty without proving the president guilty as well.” – Andrew C. McCarthy
Most of us were puzzled by Hillary Clinton’s frequent insistence that she would not be indicted over the months leading up to FBI Director James Comey’s shocking statement that she would not be charged. Now we know why.
Andrew McCarthy knew that if Hillary Clinton was found guilty, President Obama, too, would have been guilty. (national review.com)
Hillary’s aide and confidant, Huma Abedin, was tipped off during an interview by the FBI and Andrew McCarthy predicted so on National Review Online eight months ago.
It all happened when the FBI showed Abedin an old e-mail exchange between the then secretary of state and a second person, whose name Abedin did not recognize. When the FBI informed her that the second person was President Obama, using a pseudonym to conduct communications over a non-secure e-mail system, she saw it as a “get-out-of-jail-free card.” She knew that direct presidential communications with high-ranking officials who have national security and foreign policy responsibilities are presumed classified. And she knew that if Hillary was guilty, so was the president.
When the White House refused to disclose some 20 communications Obama had exchanged with then secretary Clinton, McCarthy surmised that Obama, too, was guilty of reckless mishandling of classified information.
Since Hillary’s lawyers would have forced the disclosure of the Obama e-mails showing that he had engaged in the same misconduct, the president’s Department of Justice was happy to comply with the FBI’s decision not to indict.
Donald Trump is correct when he states that the Clinton’s (and Obama’s) are above the law and that the system is rigged.
(NOTE: Andrew McCarthy is the former Assistant U. S. Attorney for the South District of New York, who was the prosecutor against Sheik Omar Abdal Rothman and eleven others convicted of the 1993 bombing of the Worth Trade Center. He currently is associated with the National Review.)
