Failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton just can’t seem to help herself from managing to always make matters worse.
With the Biden administration pushing the talking points that “no one is above the law” in response to the unprecedented, even historic state-sponsored lawlessness seen on Monday when the weaponized FBI raided the Mar-A-Lago home of former President Donald Trump, Clinton reared her head to remind the nation that yes, some are indeed above the law — namely her. While the antics of President Biden’s crack-smoking son Hunter Biden stand as the beacon of a two-tiered standard of justice in America today, Hillary wrote that script.
Responding to one of the darker moments in American history, where a president’s administration targets the previous occupant of the White House, Clinton saw an opportunity to gloat while selling a little swag.
“Every ‘But her emails’ hat or shirt sold helps partners defend democracy, build a progressive bench, and fight for our values. Just saying!” she tweeted, along with a photo of herself rocking one of the hats.

Clinton was caught up in the controversy of using a private email server as secretary of state during the 2016 presidential election and had deleted tens of thousands of emails. She claimed at the time that she did not have any classified emails on her server, but a suspect FBI “investigation” found over a hundred contained classified information with three having classification markers. A clear violation of the law.
Ultimately, disgraced former FBI Director James Comey would call Clinton’s actions “extremely careless,” but the highly political director recommended that no charges be filed.
Having long ago proved that there is no shame in her game, after capitalizing on the Mar-a-Lago raid, Clinton came back to Twitter later to boast that they had run out of hats.
“That was fast—I’m told hats are now sold out. We’ll re-stock ASAP. In the meantime, know that we’ve got shirts, too,” she tweeted.
Here are a few responses to the story from Twitter:
Hillary is fundraising off of admitting she did worse than what Trump is accused of

She deleted 33,000 emails from a private server she used to conduct State Department business after she got a subpoena and now she’s bragging about it because the game show host that beat her got his house raided for having government documents in his private possession. https://t.co/Jz7x5GXdg6

“I did shit like this too” isn’t exactly the dunk she thinks it is. https://t.co/DB48DvQK8C

When you wait for the process to just “play out” like some Republicans would suggest, this is what you get.

Comey on Clinton emails: “110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified info… 8 of the chains contained info that was Top Secret… 36 chains contained Secret info… & 8 contained Confidential info…”https://t.co/YZK6wEH08b https://t.co/SN8hk5AbgH
