But according to CNN, those in the ‘political class’ are now above reproach and cannot be held to the law?

They only mean rats should be above the law.

Political opponents go to jail all the time in this country — when they BREAK THE LAW like Hillary did.

Not really. Many here have gotten away with murder, also outright acts of treason. The Clintons are a perfect example. E-mail server-gate is far from being the first and only crime she or Bill ever committed.

From CNN, July 2016...

This was not his first time investigating the Clintons [Comey]

Nor his second. The email server probe marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton.

His first run-in came in the mid-1990s, when he joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. There he dug into allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton..."

"In 2002, Comey, then a federal prosecutor, took over an investigation into President Bill Clinton's 2001 pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had been indicted on a laundry list of charges before fleeing the country . ..."

"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax evasion)

William J. Marks, Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker's business partner (conspiracy)

Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

David Hale: banker, self-proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned.

Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

Charles Matthews: Whitewater defendant (bribery)

Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[40]

White House FBI files controversy

The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors.

Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position.

Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.”

Peaceful handover, yes. Free ride to escape MASSIVE bribery and corruption, destruction of evidence, and conspiracy, NO!

CHINA WILL LIKELY replace the USA as world leader, said Bill Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a matter of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to build China's military strength than any man on earth. ..."

Remember, the liberals have really wanted a monarchy ever since JFK - protected by sovereign immunity.

Jailing them for political opposition, or arresting them for crimes?

I’d settle for her living in Chapaqua growing awarding winning Roses for the rest of her days. However I want Soro’s extraditing process too Russia to begin @ 12:02 01/21/17, with him wheels up to Russia within an hr or two of the process beginning....

First of all, we don’t live in a “healthy democracy”. Second, she would have to be investigated, charged and convicted. THAT is the American way, CNN.

Thanks man. In some pain and needed the laugh :)

See, she committed actual crimes and needs to pay an actual price.

Frankly, I dont care if she goes to jail or hell after he is elected.

She will suffer terribly from the loss wherever she is.

The country matters to me first. It would just be a bonus.

It is part of the Clinton grift operation: “You can’t jail your political opponent for disagreeing with you.” And that is true. Trouble is, it could scarcely be more obvious that jail is where Hillary belongs. Not because of her politics, shameful as I might think them, but because of actual crimes.

If proven.

And if George Soros is funding rioters to travel across state lines, and/or his PAC is colluding with the Clinton campaign even while the Democrats are persecuting Republicans in Wisconsin . . .

And add Rick Perry and Tom Delay and Senator Ted Stevens.

When it comes to lawfare, the rats are professionals.

LOL! The Constitution and being a Nation of Laws DEMANDS that farces like the Clinton "investigations" be rectified.

The FBI and DOJ have become so tainted they no longer serve a valid purpose as part of the legal/justice system.
