In none of those cases do you have a smoking gun or quid pro quo. It’s a misnomer when Stephanopoulos says you....

Watts intervened for Clinton via Twitter after the NRA tweeted about the dangers posed by a potential Supreme Court filled with Clinton nominees.

The NRA tweeted: “The attack on #2A is clear. A Clinton SCOTUS would ...
