    Clinton cannot be tried again for the same crime under the Fifth Amendment.

    Uhhh… shouldn’t it be a mistrial now? Maybe they npw have to motion or whatever to get it classified as such before they can try him again.

    Seems like the system is broken if they can’t get it classified as a mistrial considering the dude literally got removed from the bench… >_>;

    Here’s hoping.
