Hillary Clinton was cleared of wrongdoing in the recent email scandal. However, the head of the FBI, James Comey, stated that if you or I did the same thing, we would be subject to punishment for such irresponsible behavior.

Is this not a paradox? What is wrong with this picture? We will have to start calling her the second “Teflon Clinton.”
