Obama:
Draft dodger - check - some BS about only being 13 in 1973 when the war ended.
Judge and jury - check - exec clemency granted 1927 times, 330 of which were on his last day in office (a record number).
Clinton:
Draft dodger - check - oh yeah, going to college like that's an excuse
Judge and jury - check - 459 times
Wait, why are we playing this stupid game again?"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

That's not the charge against Trump, the charge is his deferment for bone spurs after he was out of college.
Don't know, but you're losing at it.

It is one of the powers of the Commander in Chief, and should be used with better judgement than a draft dodger should us in the case of military justice.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
