McDaniel: Move a ‘cheap shot’ (No investigation of illegal phone intercepts by Hillary Clinton)

Excerpt -

Attorney General Dustin Mc-Daniel said the state Republican Party chairman took “a cheap shot” in asking him to investigate whether then-first lady Hillary Clinton violated state law during her husband’s presidential campaign in 1992 by listening to a recording of a phone conversation.

McDaniel, a Democrat who is co-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in Arkansas, said GOP Chairman Dennis Milligan “wanted... to get me to make some sort of comment that in some way blurred the lines between my job as attorney general and the fact that I am supporting Hillary.

“ They know that this was a bogus allegation of doing something that wasn’t against the law at the time it happened, if it happened,” he said Wednesday in an interview after he spoke to the Political Animals Club at the Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock.

“If it was against the law, the statute of limitations ran [out ] 17 years ago and, if the statute of limitations hadn’t run [out ] 17 years ago, the prosecuting attorney is the one to handle it,” McDaniel said. “So it was either gross incompetence or a calculated political move to send it to me in a press release and I was not going to take that bait, even if I just did.”

A Klintoon career criminal isn’t going to be investigated. What a surprise!!

Wait until the Antichrist loses her cool in the Oval Office and shoots kills someone with a table lamp. The NYT will be telling us that it would be a violation of the Constitution to hold her accountable. And, they’ll make it stick.

He should have just used the standard clinton non-denial denial, “That’s an old story.”

Spoken like a true lawyer. One of these days we will have a justice system rather than a legal system.

Lets pray the closest she ever gets to an Oval Office is the replica at the WJC Presidential Library or Double Wide Trailer as some refer to it.

“Laws? we don need no stinking laws!”

The republicans should send it back and ask him to investigate it regardless of the statute. Her husband was in a position of power; ask that they toll the statute under color of authority. (It won’t happen, but it would be fun to watch this guy squirm...)

It sure would be fun to watch him squirm.

I am looking forward to one day seeing the Clintons squirm too.

I’m hopeful that the Antichrist doesn’t make it to the Oval Office, but I’m not confident. The Klintoons and their fellow career criminals in the MSM usually get what they want, whether they deserve it or not.

There are many, many uninformed political morons in the electorate who, in combination with dedicated anti-American leftists could elect Fidel to the Presidency.
