This Old Bitch-of-Benghazi Still has the Same Old Tricks

Still the same:
 In 1996, the New York Times’ William Safire branded Clinton a “congenital liar” 
Why Voters Don’t Trust Hillary Clinton | The American Spectator

By Debra J. Saunders – 7.28.15

For the same reason you don’t.

Voters in Colorado, Iowa, and Virginia think Hillary Clinton is not honest or trustworthy. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, a mere 34 percent of Colorado voters think she can be trusted; 62 percent do not. In Iowa, those numbers are 33 percent to 59; in Virginia, Clinton is underwater on trust, too, 39 percent to 55 percent.
Clinton’s conduct is catching up with her. In March, Clinton told reporters that as secretary of state, she had “opted for convenience” to use private email because she “thought it would be easier to carry just one device” for her work and for her personal emails. Oh, and she used a private — not a government — server, and the private server already has been scrubbed. She deleted some 30,000 emails — because they were personal — before sending another 30,000 to Foggy Bottom. Voters will have to take her word that half the emails were personal and did not risk national security. An inspector general has asked the Department of Justice to investigate. It seems a sampling of 40 emails Clinton sent as secretary of state found that four contained classified information that should have been labeled “secret.” The only question is: What took so long?
In 1996, the New York Times’ William Safire branded Clinton a “congenital liar” in a column that cited the first lady’s amazing acumen in the commodities market, her role in firing staff in the White House travel office, and the mysterious disappearance and appearance of documents from her former law firm. The Clintons have a way of playing the clock until the public loses interest in an overcomplicated story.
The Clinton email/private server story is too technical, as well, but it directs attention to other Clinton vices:
1) Blind ambition. ...

2) Greed. ...

3) Mendacity. ...
