When Hearst applied for a presidential pardon in 2000, the US attorney in San Francisco objected in

outraged terms. "I strongly oppose the pardon application filed by Patricia Hearst," the US attorney wrote, "The attitude of Hearst has always been that she is a person above the law and that, based on her wealth and social position, she is not accountable for her conduct, despite the jury's verdict."

Who was that US attorney? You may have heard of him. His name is Robert S. Mueller III."

That's right, Mr. Mueller; hold them accountable regardless of their wealth and social position. I really like this guy but I'm glad my ex didn't have him for her attorney!

The text was all over conservative media Wednesday and appeared to be the impetus for the above tweet from Trump. The argument is that it may constitute Obama meddling in the Clinton email investigation.

But as with its predecessors — both of which had very reasonable, non-nefarious explanations — there are real reasons to be skeptical that this new text is truly a “BOMBSHELL,” as Trump alleges.
