Hillary Clinton — the woman who to this day denies the results of the 2016 election and whose campaign is responsible for the treasonous Russia-collusion hoax — should be facing her own criminal election “conspiracy” charges, instead of cheering on the Fulton County, Georgia indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 of his lawyers and advisers for challenging the 2020 election. “I feel great, you know, just great profound sadness that we have a former president who has been indicted for so many charges that went to the heart of whether or not our democracy would survive,” Clinton said...
