Memories

Her followers are impressed with Hillary Clinton's "experience"—after all, she's "the most qualified person to ever run for president." Hmmm. Her "experience" and "qualifications" led to a disastrous tenure as Secretary of State in which her decisions precipitated failed states in the Middle east, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, turned a random group of Islamist crazies into ISIS, and increased aggression by Russia and China. But no matter, her supporters cannot be swayed.

Her followers are impressed with Hillary Clinton's "intelligence" after all, she's a master of policy during the debates and has near total recall of every fact, every situation, every nuance as she defends her positions against the evil Donald Trump.

WAIT!!

Then why the following description of a court-ordered written exchange between Clinton and Judicial Watch noted in Politico:
Hillary Clinton submitted formal answers under penalty of perjury on Thursday about her use of a private email server, saying 20 times that she did not recall the requested information or related discussions, while also asserting that no one ever warned her that the practice could run afoul of laws on preserving federal records.

"Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall being advised, cautioned, or warned, she does not recall that it was ever suggested to her, and she does not recall participating in any communication, conversation, or meeting in which it was discussed that her use of a clintonemail.com e-mail account to conduct official State Department business conflicted with or violated federal recordkeeping laws," lawyers for Clinton wrote. Clinton also said she could not recall ever being warned about any hacking or attempted hacking of her private account or server.

Clinton signed the legal filing Monday "under penalty of perjury." The submission was ordered by a federal judge in connection with a Freedom of Information Action lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
So ... in addition to clear irrefutable evidence that Clinton is a liar, a corrupt politician, and an incompetent government official, it looks like her memory is going ... but only in select cases. Or maybe it's just that she's a weasel, trying very hard not to trap herself into a perjury rap. She can't tell the truth, it's politically and legally dangerous. She can't lie as she almost always does, because that opens her up to perjury charges. So she conveniently forgets, she can't "recall." Yep, that's the kind of "experienced, intelligent" president we need at this stage of our country's history.
