George Will: Clintons Are ‘the Kind of People that Can Find a Loophole in a Stop Sign’

WALLACE: “Let me George in, because if I’m going to ask you the question the folks keep asking me. How big a deal is this? And given the fact we’re in March of 2015, how big a deal is this when we’re talking about an election that isn’t until November of 2016?”
