The NEWSWEEK reporter asked if Obama started the whole thing by comparing the ex-president to Richard Nixon. All of a sudden, one of Clinton’s frazzled-looking handlers stepped in. “Thanks, you guys,” the handler piped up.

With just six months left on his deal, the German side reportedly allowed Subotic to leave on a free transfer, as he goes in search of first-team football once again.
