When it comes to inconvenient episodes like an FBI interview about her private email system, Hillary Clinton comes off as either a liar or senile.
Hillary Clinton told FBI agents that she could not recall issues related to her email server at least 26 times, according to an 11-page document released by the FBI on Friday.
Highlights of things Clinton could not recall in the FBI interview:
— When she received security clearance
— Being briefed on how to handle classified material
— Any briefing, how to handle very top-secret “Special Access Program” material
— How to select a target for a drone strike
— How data from her mobile devices was destroyed when she switched devices
— Why she didn’t get a secure Blackberry
— Receiving any emails she thought should not be on the private system
— Did not remember giving staff direction to create private email account
— Getting guidance from state on email policy
— Who had access to her Blackberry account
— The process for deleting her emails
— Anyone besides Huma Abedin being offered an account on the private server
— Using an iPad mini
— State Dept. protocol for confirming classified information in media reports
— Every briefing she received after suffering concussions
— Being read out of her clearance
— Any further access to her private email account from her State Dept. tenure after switching to her HRCoffice.com account
Hillary Clinton also had memory issues when she was questioned during the investigation of the Madison Guaranty Savings and Loans, and the Whitewater development corporation.
W. Hickman Ewing Jr., Kenneth W. Starr’s deputy, said that at dinner one evening with other Starr staff members, he graded the president and first lady on their responses to questioning by Whitewater investigators.
“I said the president [got] about a ‘C’ and Mrs. Clinton about an ‘F,’ ” Ewing testified. He said his remark followed his observing her during a July 1995 deposition, in which she said ” ‘I don’t recall’ about 50 times.”
He said he drafted the proposed indictment against the first lady sometime after September 1996. Early that year, her long-sought billing records from the Rose Law Firm mysteriously surfaced in the White House
While she’s also using the bump on the head excuse, that kind of falls apart because some things are clear examples of dishonesty as they can’t be passed off as a contagious forgetting disease with a straight face.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s counsel and chief of staff Cheryl Mills replied at least 189 times with variations of “I don’t know” or “I don’t recall” during a deposition about the Clinton email scandals.
And what would happen if any of us lost a company laptop, let alone one with classified government information on it? Obviously nothing if your name is Hillary Clinton.
A Clinton Foundation laptop and a thumb drive used to archive Hillary Clinton’s emails from her time as secretary of state are missing, according to FBI notes released on Friday.
Would we really want Hillary’s finger on the button if she couldn’t remember if she’d pushed it or not and may not be able to remember why in the first place? Even worse, would we want her finger on the button knowing she’d lie about why she’d need to push it?
