A Voice from the past to haunt Bill

What made his self-righteousness especially burn for me is that fact that Clinton pardoned terrorists from the group that killed my father - and did it simply to help his wife’s (successful) bid for a Senate seat. Now he wants me to believe he took the threat seriously?
