Whats is this “in my presence” crap?
You answered your own question, of course. It is crap.
The repetitive use of the awkward and odd construct, "In my presence, I don't recall.." is a glaring tell typical of all the Clinton associates. She might as well just come out and say, "My answer is going to be a steaming pile of manure. You know it, I know it, but the tortured construct of my wording gives me cover to claim it means anything I want it to mean after I find out what I need it to mean."
