Tucker Carlson Spars with Clinton Adviser over ‘Cover-Up’ of Mueller Firing FBI Agent

Tucker Carlson Spars with Clinton Adviser over ‘Cover-Up’ of Mueller Firing FBI Agent (Mediaite)

Tucker Carlson had an intense debate with Hillary Clinton adviser Richard Goodstein on Monday night about whether the recent commotion about Peter Strzok is a sign of the FBI’s political double standards.

The Fox host’s A-block tonight gravitated around the news that Robert Mueller removed Strzok from the special counsel investigation after indications showed the FBI agent working with pro-Clinton, anti-Trump leanings. Carlson and Goldstein argued this by comparing Clinton and Flynn’s respective lies, and whether the FBI ever tried to lead Clinton into a perjury trap like Carlson insisted that they did with Flynn.

“There’s a double standard,” Carlson insisted. “[Flynn’s] name is tarnished for life because he lied in his conversation with FBI agents. Hillary Clinton got a special deal where she was not speaking under oath to FBI agents. Who gets that deal?”
