She made it sound as if the generator was to benefit the secret service rather than herself. How transparent and unnecessary. The public would not object to a former president's home, even an impeached one, being equipped with a generator. In fact, they would expect it.

Actually my guess here is that Hillary didn't mean to lie per se. You see I would be willing to bet she was not in NY at the time so she just went along with the "of course my lights are out too, after all I'm just another intrepid New Yorker like the rest of you" Later she probably realized that the SS would have a generator on the property so she shifted her answer accordingly. Not that she has an aversion to lying as we all know. BTW, when was the last time a reported sighting of Bill Clinton in his beloved Harlem has ever been reported?
