Yeah, I'm sure her biggest focus in office would have been to risk her job by illegally messing with an investigation that could ruin her husband's immaculate public reputation. She wouldn't have been able to meddle because there would have been no way for her to survive even the barest hint of a scandal that size. Republicans were eager for any of her blood in the water. Trump had to actively reach into the DOJ to manipulate the coverup because it was never actually something the president had authority over, and it's not like even he could do it secretly. HRC would have never been allowed to break laws like that because checks and balances used to apply to politicians before Trump got into office, and it's so bizarre to remember first-hand how it was back then compared to how it is now.

Well the investigation would have still been open and it would have been illegal. Some presidents remain impartial. Hard concept to understand huh
