William Saphire was the columnist I was trying to remember who first coined Hillary as a “congenital liar”. I think that he must have recalled her earlier performance on the counsel for the prosecution, in the Nixon Impeachment case, among other habitual lies.
She was also a student defense protégés of the defense, for that Black Panther member on trial for something.
Thanks for the lead lawyer name. Was that lead lawyer on the Nixon case, you think?
Jerome Zeifman was lead counsel for the House Judiciary Committee. but was not the lead counsel for the impeachment inquiry, to whom Hillary reported. So he could not fire her. But he was quoted as calling her a liar, years later, and that if he had the power, he would have fired her. As it was, when they no longer needed her and a few others, at the end of the impeachment inquiry, he did tell her he could not recommend her for any further positions.
