Hillary Clinton used her best Donald Trump imitation to poke fun at her former rival with a dramatic reading from the passage of the Mueller report where the president declares: ‘I’m f***ed.’
The 2016 Democratic nominee and her husband Bill took a break from their speaking tour ‘An Evening with the Clintons’ to sit down with comedian Jordan Klepper.
The host of Comedy Central’s ‘Klepper’ and his guests were discussing GoFundMe causes worthy of a $1,000 donation when they came across a campaign raising money for Hillary to record an audiobook of the special counsel’s report.
‘Gosh, I would definitely do that,’ Hillary said before offering a sneak peek at what it would sound like.
“The investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency,” Clinton began reading, leading Klepper to interject.
“Feel it, Secretary Clinton. Feel it, just imagine like you have a history with this,” Klepper quips.
She then reads the portion of the report which describes the moment Trump learned that Robert Mueller would be leading the investigation into collusion between his campaign and the Russians as well as obstruction of justice.
‘Oh my god. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I’m f***ed,’ Hillary read, mimicking Trump’s distinct New York City tone.
WATCH HILLARY CLINTON READING MUELLER REPORT:
The GoFundMe campaign for a Mueller report audiobook was launched by a San Antonio man named Tex Morgan on April 20.
It had raised a mere $190 toward its $200,000 goal as of Monday morning, with $150 of that coming from the ‘Klepper’ segment.
Hillary joked about starting another campaign to send Attorney General William Barr to law school after Bill remarked that he’d been misleading about the contents of the Mueller report.
Barr released a redacted version of the Russia report to Congress and the public on April 18.
The report indicated the investigation found no evidence that Trump or his campaign and administration had conspired with the Russian government.
It was inconclusive on whether Trump obstructed justice during the investigation, a point that Democrats are using as their new grounds for calling for Trump’s impeachment.
Comical television skits aside, Hillary Clinton didn’t find the ordeal to be a laughing matter.
Shortly after the 448-page, redacted document was released to the public, Clinton released a fiery indictment of her own in an op-ed for The Washington Post.
“Our election was corrupted, our democracy assaulted, our sovereignty and security violated,” she wrote. “This is the definitive conclusion of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report. It documents a serious crime against the American people.”
