Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said if Donald Trump were not president, he would have been indicted on obstruction of justice in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
Clinton said, “Number one, Russia conducted a sweeping and systemic interference in our election and not been held accountable. And what I worry about most is that they’re going to be doing it again, and there is reason to believe that. And that if the president were not in office, he would have been indicted for obstruction of justice.”
She added, “One of the things Barr said today that I haven’t seen too much commentary about, which clearly was one of the Republicans’ main points they were trying to get out is, in the absence of an underlying crime, you can’t have obstruction of justice. Now it was a long time ago, but I actually did teach law, and that is just not true.”
