Actually, Hillary should have had an easy answer to that one. Clinton pardoned them after they had served long prison sentences. I’m not sure, but I assume they expressed regret and remorse as part of their pardon process, as is normally the case.

Ayers was never convicted, only because the evidence against him had to be thrown out. He not only doesn’t express remorse, he still says he wished he had done more.

What is more egregious?

Ayers.

Then Obama should have responded, Pandering to Puerto Rican voters didn’t have anything to do with it?

FALN Terrorists are the only ones who have shown remorse?

As I recall, the FALN terrorists didn’t even ask for a pardon, but Clinton gave them one anyway just to get votes.

The pardoned Puerto Rican terrorists were a cause celebre in the PR communities in New York. This was a play for their votes for HRC’s run for the Senate. That gives you a little more perspective on who those supposedly “remorseful” terrorists were. There was a benefit in it for the Clintons, not a magnanimous grant of executive clemency to a deserving convict.
