Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that Hillary Clinton, probably the most investigated politician in U.S. history, was "never investigated." Clinton, for the record, was never found guilty of wrongdoing.
"But I do think it's — we have a very divided country," McDaniel said. "I'm a Republican, on CNN, saying that. I'll bet most of your viewers, who may not be Republican, agree with me. We have an incredibly divided country."
"And when Republicans feel like there's one system of justice for them and a different for Democrats, there's one standard for Hillary Clinton and a different for Donald Trump?" she continued. "It doesn't help bring our country together. And we have an MIA president."
"But the allegations are not the same for Hillary Clinton," Collins said.
"You know what? Because she never was investigated," McDaniel falsely said. "She never was investigated."
"She was investigated," Collins said.
"She had a BleachBit server. She had a BleachBit," McDaniel insisted. "She destroyed phones."
"But she was investigated," Collins said.
The CNN host explained that Trump "was holding on to U.S. nuclear secrets, information about U.S. allies, and their weaknesses."

Notably, however, the indictment does not charge Trump with the illegal retention of any of the 197 documents he returned to the archives.
That shows that if Trump had simply returned all the classified documents he had, he probably never would have been charged with any crimes, said Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor.
“This is not a case about what documents were taken, it’s about what former president Trump did after the government sought to retrieve those documents,” said Mintz, who noted that willful-retention cases often hinge on how much evidence prosecutors can find that a person deliberately hid material or refused to give it back.
Is it the new Republican talking point to claim President Biden is MIA? They need to make up their minds. He's either Sleepy Joe or a master criminal mind trying to shake up the global economy to start a New World Order while sipping an Adrenochrome martini with President Zelenskyy.
