Though good guys Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter backed the clemency, was it just a human-rights issue? Or was it political husbandry (and a bad job of it, too) for Hillary?s New York Senate run? Republicans want to know. Clinton ain?t telling. The White House braved the ghosts of Nixon one more time Thursday and invoked executive privilege, waving away congressional subpoenas for documents and witnesses...
