Perpetually scandalous presidential loser Hillary Clinton has grasped a new straw regarding why she should remain free from investigative scrutiny. The former Secretary of State said any probe into her involvement with an Obama-era Russian uranium deal would constitute a federal abuse of power.  

Clinton claimed that if a special counsel were to look into her dealings with Russia in the Uranium One debacle, it would be tantamount to an act of an “authoritarian regime.” She said it would send a negative message to Americans and would serve as “demoralizing” news to those who have served at the Department of Justice, according to Axios Wednesday. In an interview with Mother Jones, Clinton claimed:

"If they send a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system…It will be incredibly demoralizing to people who have served at the Justice Department, under both Republicans and Democrats, because they know better. But it will also send a terrible signal to our country and the world that somehow we are giving up on the kind of values that we used to live by and we used to promote worldwide."

Incredible. In the view of the leftist who inspired crowds over the past year to chant “lock her up,” any investigation into her improprieties would “rip at the fabric” of our society.  

Specifically, Hillary was commenting on her time as Secretary of state. As reported by The Hill, Russia funneled millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation, and former president Bill Clinton pocketed hundreds of thousands in speaking fees from the Russians, in exchange for influence over the U.S. government’s approval of the uranium deal.

The Clinton Foundation’s role in a Russian business’s purchase of a company controlling America’s atomic energy resources has resulted in an October announcement by overseers of two House committees. The Republican chairmen stated that a probe would be launched into the uranium deal as well as the Justice Department’s previous investigation of it. On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed prosecutors to investigate “certain issues” with regard to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One. Hopefully, for a woman mired in decades of scandal, corruption, and lies, justice will finally be served.
