If the OP meant that Hillary being a democrat is somehow uniquely protected from any prosecution then I agree that it is the other side of the coin of polarization of political opinion that divides the ordinary citizens and makes them weaker.
But Powell and Rice, occupying the same level of power as Clinton during her term, I understood it as a condemnation of the privileges of political power in general and not a privilege of a particular political party.
It's not a defense, it's a counter to the idea that "if anyone else did this, they'd be fired and charged". Obviously that's not true, because (as noted in the comment to which you replied) others did it and no one was fired or went to jail.
