Whadda mean wiped clean, like with a cloth?
What difference does it make at this point
So predictable from the Clinton playbook of simplistic political misdirection:
- Discredit any criticisms/charges by sounding reasonable and exasperated about how 'all the silliness' is pointless and taking you away from 'serving the people' (e.g. "Now I need to get back to serving the American people" - Bill Clinton after denying having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky).
- Create and leak false narratives and charges about yourself that are easily discredited/disproven. This acts to dilute and discredit ANY real criticisms/charges that are made against you.
- Accuse your opponents/enemies with exactly what you are doing, and then vehemently oppose those actions (serves to make the public think you are so against the behavior/actions in question such that you are above ever doing them).
There are obviously a lot more entries in this playbook, but then we've seen them over and over before.
