Hillary Clinton expressed her lack of satisfaction regarding Donald Trump’s recent legal troubles. In Georgia, 13 additional criminal charges were brought against the former president on Monday night. Instead of feeling satisfied, Clinton stated that she experienced profound sadness. This news came at a time when Clinton was scheduled to appear on MSNBC to discuss an essay she wrote about the issue of loneliness in American society, published in The Atlantic. Clinton expressed surprise at the circumstances surrounding her appearance, but she couldn’t help but laugh. She shared that she did not feel any satisfaction, but rather a deep sadness, knowing that a former president has been indicted on numerous charges that directly impact the survival of democracy in the United States.
At the time Clinton made her statements, the specifics of the charges against Trump in Georgia were unknown. However, it was later revealed that he was indicted on 13 counts, including racketeering and conspiracy. This brings the total number of charges against the former president to 91 across four separate investigations: Georgia, New York (related to hush-money payments to an adult film actor), and federal-level charges for election subversion and the retention of classified records.
Despite these legal challenges, Trump remains a frontrunner in Republican primary polling, leading his closest competitors by a significant margin of more than 30 points. Following the news of the indictments, prominent Republicans came to his defense, claiming his innocence and alleging political persecution.
Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, charged a total of 19 individuals, including key Trump aides Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and John Eastman. These indictments are related to their involvement in the attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia.
Clinton went on to highlight the public evidence against Trump, emphasizing his efforts to defraud the United States and its citizens. She outlined tactics such as harassment, intimidation, threats, and targeting of state and local officials responsible for conducting elections. Clinton condemned Trump and his allies for breaching voting machines while falsely accusing others of the same.
Clinton acknowledged the comprehensive nature of the investigation but declined to express satisfaction. Instead, she deemed this moment a terrible one for the country, considering the accusations against a former president for such significant crimes.
In 2016, Trump frequently accused Clinton of wrongdoing, rallying his supporters with chants of “lock her up.” Recently unearthed comments from Trump reveal his concern that a president facing indictment and a criminal trial would cause a constitutional crisis and hinder government operations.
Currently, Trump faces four criminal trials and one civil trial scheduled to coincide with the Republican primary.
Reflecting on the situation, Clinton acknowledged that the satisfaction lies in the fact that the system is functioning. Despite Trump’s efforts to silence the truth and undermine democracy, justice is being pursued and brought to light.
