CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Friday that a “reasonable prosecutor” could have chosen to prosecute former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified materials.
Then-FBI Director James Comey said in a July 2016 press conference that “no reasonable prosecutor” would have moved forward with charges against Clinton over a server set up in her Chappaqua home. Former President Donald Trump entered a plea of “not guilty” to all counts during his arraignment June 13, after Special Counsel Jack Smith secured a grand jury indictment on 37 counts, including violations of the Espionage Act, that was unsealed June 9.
WATCH:
“I don’t necessarily agree with James Comey based on what we know about the case,” Honig, a former federal prosecutor, told “The Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover. “I don’t agree that no reasonable prosecutor would have charged Hillary Clinton. I do think there are reasonable prosecutors that could have charged Hillary Clinton. I think it’s a very close call.”
Former Vice President Mike Pence reported the discovery of classified documents to the National Archives and Records Administration Jan. 18, following reports of classified material being found at the Penn Biden Center and the Wilmington, Delaware, home of President Joe Biden.
Republicans criticized the indictment, noting that FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate owned by former President Donald Trump, Aug. 8 over allegations classified documents had been removed from the White House, even though Trump claimed the documents were declassified.

“I understand the argument that these cases are all somewhat similar, and they are,” Honig said. “They’re similar, but they’re not the same.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's hard to believe it's really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
