He was on a mission to clear her, he was just looking for a reason to do it. When that reason didn’t turn up he lied about it and claimed what she did wasn’t a crime. Even as he was prosecuting other people like the Navy Sailor who really didn’t have any intend beyond showing his kids where he worked, and was probably never compromised like Clinton for doing the same thing.
