Hillary Clinton’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad answer on telling the truth
The Washington Post ^ | February 19, 2016 | Chris Cillizza

CBS's Scott Pelley interviewed Hillary Clinton on Thursday night. One exchange tells you everything you need to know about Clinton's struggles in the Democratic primary race so far and why she continues to be dogged by questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Here it is:

PELLEY: You know, in '76, Jimmy Carter famously said, "I will not lie to you."

CLINTON: Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state to level with the American people.

PELLEY: You talk about leveling with the American people. Have you always told the truth?

CLINTON: I've always tried to. Always. Always.

PELLEY: Some people are gonna call that wiggle room that you just gave yourself.

CLINTON: Well, no, I've always tried --

PELLEY: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, "I will never lie to you."

CLINTON: Well, but, you know, you're asking me to say, "Have I ever?" I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will. I'm gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.

She is a congenital liar, more like pathological, like Bill.
She is incapable of telling truth on anything and she was lying when she made those remarks.

And you know Trump funded her and praised her; he said she’d make a great president. Of course, he had to, as his fans tell it, because he was in business. That’s why he had her come to his wedding.

Just like Ted Cruz has “no intention” of ever supporting amnesty.

Well I won’t vote for her even though I am mentally ill. I have members of my family who voted for Zero and they are supposed to be mentally fine. I warned them not to vote for our present A$$hole in chief but they did anyway. I have spoken to my sister twice in the last 8 years because of her actions. My hope is that the Bastard in Chief does leave when he is due to, but that is just a hope.

It’s clearly obvious the evil in the Clinton clan is fed from Hillary’s malignant karma.

Didn’t she get fired from the Nixon investigation for lying to her boss?

Very simple. She lies so much she has no idea what truth actually is anymore. Therefore how can she know if she always spoke truth ? The correct answer was, I spoke truth except for about a dozen or two instances when national security has prevented me from speaking truth.

"Interviewer: But as a young lawyer, you were fired from the Watergate prosecuting team for lying!"

Clinton: 'Well, yeah. But I always tried to tell the truth.'

Ok, Hillary. I've always tried to play guitar like Tommy Emmanuel, too...

One Clinton lies and the other swears to it.

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of
the VRWC." Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.

A fact the MSM will never share.

P.S. Miss the Silent Jonny Idol thread :):)

And some day we’ll learn the real truth about Huma.

Bill and Hill were doing the “daily double” with WH interns.

It struck me how she did not blink. Weird to watch.

It was weird to watch her.....her eyes opened wider, her voice raised a couple decibels.

She could hardly contain her paranoia, knowing she was caught.

Hillary/s Ceacescu Moment.....second only to her "That/s what G/S offered me" moment.
