Hillary Clinton failed to pass the bar exam in D.C. after graduating from Yale Law School She has spun the shortcoming as a happy indication at the time that she should follow Bill Clinton to Arkansas Donald Trump pulled the episode into the news Monday with two tweets In one he said her 'brainpower is highly overrated' Donald Trump has opened up a new line of attack on Hillary Clinton, writing Monday on Twitter that her intellect is 'highly overrated' – and recalling, correctly, that she once failed the Washington, D.C. bar exam.
'Does anyone know that Crooked Hillary, who tried so hard, was unable to pass the Bar Exams in Washington D.C. She was forced to go elsewhere,' his tweet read.
'Crooked Hillary's brainpower is highly overrated.Probably why her decision making is so bad or, as stated by Bernie S, she has BAD JUDGEMENT,' Trump added.

So what. If the press is going to tout Hillary as some genius she deserves to have her record impugned. Doesn’t matter how many others pass the bar, Trump is not running against them
Hillary's admirers started the BS in the '90s, when she was co-president. They referred to Hillary as the "smartest woman in the world."
A puppet for Soros and Co.
Hillary Rodham senior thesis
Nonsense. Every part of her life is fair game and should be used against her. This is about winning for America, period.
Do students still in school take that exam then after studying two years, though graduating later?
I read somewhere recently that this is the reason why they went to arkansas - apparently it is an easy bar exam?
Let’s face it, the ONLY thing she learned from law school is how to avoid prosecution by leaving no evidence
This would also be about Federal law, would it not. Her eventual success in Arkansas would be about state law?
She ought to be running for governor of Arkansas maybe — but not President.
And also throw out there that she was fired from the watergate commission too.
Didn’t he also lose his law license for some reason?
I mean, you just don’t “give up” a law license you spent a lot of money to get.
I’d like to read her thesis.
Michelle Obama’s was total crap. Poorly written diatribe on how she was oppressed at an Ivy League school she got into due to Affirmative Action.
Obama’s article as an undergrad in his school newspaper was likewise full of errors.
Watch the movie WEINER. Human comes across as a clueless, passive dolt. These folks aren’t the brightest by any measure.
I think Teddy Kennedy took it 7 times (or was that John Jr?)
Yes, you can retake, have no idea what the limits or frequency is, but a lot of folks practicing law, some very successful ones didn’t pass the bar on their first try.
Hammering on the inconsequential can be tricky, because she can bring up counter examples.
I have a neighbor who is a lawyer and CPA.
I was talking with him a few months ago and asked him if the Florida Bar was difficult. He said it was one of the more difficult ones but not the hardest by far.
I then asked him to compare the bar exam to the CPA exam. He said the CPA exam was much tougher.
You don’t have to scratch Michael Medved very deeply to find “Big Government Thug”.
John Jr. took the bar many times before ehe passed.
The current Georgetown passage rate is 94% first time passing.

Someone here posted 50-70%. Incorrect.
D.C. bar exam is one of the easiest. It was even easier back then.
The pass rate for graduates of the Ivies is pretty near 100% (many of the first-time failures are from unaccredited or less than stellar law schools where they'll admit anybody who can pay the tuition).
Now, it may not mean that she's *stupid*. She may not have studied, didn't take it seriously, or like Arlo Guthrie got good and drunk the night before so she would look and feel her best . . .
. . . which goes to her judgment, not her brainpower.
If his surname was "Jones" he would never have been near a law school, maybe not even college. He single-handedly torpedoed his school's pass rate.
