The facts of the case would seem to merit criminal charges against her , since Clinton ’s situation is analogous to problems faced by other senior officials , including former CIA directors John Deutch and David Petraeus who were accused of mishandling classified information , Deutch by having secret material on his home computer and Petraeus for giving notebooks with highly sensitive information to his lover / biographer . Deutch agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor but was preemptively pardoned by President Bill Clinton ; Petraeus pled guilty to a misdemeanor in a plea deal that spared him from jail time and was widely criticized as excessively lenient , especially since the Obama administration had jailed lower - level officials , such as former CIA officer John Kiriakou , for similar violations .

Clinton may well be the toughest and most resilient woman in the country , and America needs nothing less . For decades she has regularly been treated unfairly by the media and her peers for committing transgressions that are really more perplexing than they are disturbing . If Hillary Clinton is guiltyjustice.judicialconsequences.convictof anything , it ’s that she is so often too guarded about what she says and does , anticipating that her political enemies will try to make hay of anything and everything they can , as often as they can , for as long as they can . And they do . But the trait almost always causes her more grief in the end than just standing up to her bully enemies as they come , instead of having to later defend her actions — and then her motives .

Only at 8:00 p.m. — four hours after the original story posted — did her campaign distribute a 1 minute and 22 second video of Trump 's comments , cut together with other statements he 's made about women and testimonials from some of them about his treatment of them . Clinton herself has been off the trail all Friday , deep in New York debate prep ahead of her clash with Trump on Sunday . But her campaign made sure to keep itself in the news stream on a series of other topics throughout the day , issuing formal statements on news that the United States formally implicated Russia in election - related hacks and on the Republican nominee ’s claim that he still believes the Central Park Five to be guiltyjustice.judicialconsequences.na— so the sudden silence on Friday afternoon was striking . Often when Trump ’s past statements and actions catch up with him , Clinton ’s operatives and her surrounding groups are quick to pounce , releasing web videos , tweets , and statements . But on Friday afternoon — as cable network after cable network picked up the story , Democratic Senate candidates sought to lash their opponents to Trump , and political groups focused on women ripped into him — none came , either from Clinton ’s team or her super PAC .
