In an op-ed published by The Washington Post on Wednesday, two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came out of hiding to spout off about the Special Counsel report and to encourage Democrats to continue going after President Trump with endless investigations. In a report about Trump’s “battle with oversight”, CBS Evening News promoted Clinton’s words while painting Trump as in the wrong.
“Paula, also interesting to note today, Hillary Clinton, who was the target of much of the Russian interference in the 2016 election, weighed in on how Congress should respond to the Mueller Report. What does she have to say,” anchor Jeff Glor asked towards the end of the segment.
Speaking enthusiastically, White House correspondent Paula Reid shared Clinton’s words for Congressional Democrats:
Clinton acknowledges she may not be the best messenger, but she encourages Congress not to just focus on an up or down vote on impeachment and instead hold public hearings to build on what Mueller uncovered. She says this is about national security, and if Congress doesn't do anything, that may embolden our adversaries to meddle again in 2020.
