It was a big day The view When former President Bill Clinton stopped by to chat about all things politics, including the “false story” about his wife Hillary Clinton and her infamous email controversy.

Sunny Hostin opened the segment by pointing out that Donald Trump will return to the White House in just over a month with “broad immunity” and a “list of alleged enemies.” According to Hostin, Kash Patel, whom Trump chose to head the FBI, is said to have Hillary’s name on his own list of potential targets.

“You have a problem with her because, firstly, she hasn’t done anything wrong. Secondly, she followed the rules exactly as they were written,” Bill told the co-hosts.

“Third, Trump’s State Department noted: Remember how email was such a big problem in 2016? Trump’s State Department determined that Hillary had sent and received accurately zero confidential emails on their personal device,” he continued. “It was a made up, false story. I think if Kash Patel was determined to think of something, he could do it.”

When Hillary ran for president in 2016, she was accused of using a private email server to send and receive classified information while serving as secretary of state. However, former FBI Director James Comey said he would not recommend criminal charges at the time, noting that while Hillary and her associates were “extremely careless” in their handling of the emails, “no sane prosecutor would bring a case like this.” would”.

In the event that Trump does indeed go after his 2016 opponent, Hostin asked Bill whether Biden should “preemptively pardon” her and other targets.

“I think if President Biden wanted to talk to me about it, I would talk to him about it, but I don’t think I should publicly give advice about the pardon power,” he said. “I think too – it’s a very personal thing.”

For his part, Bill hoped that Trump would not persecute his enemies.

“Most of us will leave this world sooner than we would if we only got justice,” he said. “And that’s why spending a lot of time getting revenge is usually a foolish mistake.”
