A lighthearted Hillary Clinton took to ‘The Rachel Maddow Show‘ on Monday, her appearance serendipitously aligned with the day a Georgia grand jury released 10 indictments concerning the Trump 2020 election interference investigation.
Greeted by Maddow, Clinton, chuckling, exclaimed, “I can’t believe this.”
She continued to revel in the moment, laughing heartily and leaning back comfortably in her chair. Maddow, equally amused, mentioned, “This is not the circumstances in which I expected to be talking to you.”
Clinton, in a jovial tone, responded, “Nor me, Rachel. Always a pleasure, but I never imagined our conversation would coincide with yet another batch of indictments.”
Clinton had been set to appear on Maddow’s show to talk about an opinion piece she wrote for The Atlantic in which she talks about the politicization of social issues. The former First Lady of the United States and Secretary of State wound up giving her take on the latest indictments surrounding Trump.
“I don’t know that anybody should be satisfied. This is a terrible moment for our country to have a former president accused of these terribly important crimes,” Clinton said. “The only satisfaction is that the system is working. That all of the efforts by Trump and his allies and enablers to try and silence the truth and undermine democracy have been brought into the light. And justice is being pursued.”
Trump was Clinton’s opponent in the 2016 presidential race which she ultimately lost. During his campaign, Trump incited his crowd of followers to chant “Lock her up,” in reference to Clinton using a personal e-mail system to handle classified information.
“I hope that we won’t have accountability just for Donald Trump and if there are others named in these indictments along with him for their behavior but we will also have accountability for a political party that has just thrown in with all the lies and the divisiveness and the lack of any conscience about what has been done to the country,” Clinton also said tonight.
