If you read the coverage in the mainstream media about Hillary Clinton's interrogation by the FBI, you get the impression that it was no big deal. Clinton "did not recall much" is the main takeaway.
Are they kidding? Let's consider what actually happened. First of all, this was not a casual conversation. It was the end of a criminal investigation that Clinton knew could end her chances to get to the White House, something she has spent her whole life pointing towards. It was scheduled weeks in advance, so there was no surprise aspect to it. Clinton was prepared. It is beyond doubt that Clinton spent a great many hours with her attorneys going over all of the questions that the FBI might ask and making sure that she knew the proper answer to give. That means that when Hillary Clinton said she did not know that a "(c)" on a document meant the document was classified, Hillary and her lawyer David Kendall decided in advance that such an answer was her best choice. Seriously, there is no chance that a woman who was on the Senate Armed Services Committee for eight years and who then was Secretary of State for four years does not know which markings indicate a document is classified. But remember, if Hillary had said that she understood what the "(c)" marking meant, then all those repetitive claims that she neither sent nor received anything marked classified would be exposed as lies. Similarly, when Hillary said she could not remember getting any training or briefing about proper handling classified information, it was just another answer chosen ahead of time by Hillary and her lawyers. There are standard government forms that Hillary signed after each of her briefings on the subject in which she acknowledged that she understood the rules regarding the handling of classified information and the consequences of mishandling such data.
There's more, but let's look at the whole for a moment. The interrogation notes tell us that Hillary decided ahead of time that it would be better for her to look like she never understood what she was doing rather than that she was a capable woman who was really aware of what was happening around her. My guess is that when Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch in that plane, Lynch told Bill that the FBI was leaning towards letting Hillary off the hook because they could not see a clear intent. At that point, Hillary and her lawyers tailored her answers to show her to be careless and uninformed. A careless and uniformed person is much less likely to hold the requisite intent than an informed and purposeful person. In other words, Hillary was answering in the way that Lynch told Bill she should.
The problem, however, is that there is no way that Hillary was telling the truth. Everyone knows that. And it is a federal crime to lie to the FBI, that is apparently unless your last name is Clinton.
The mainstream media may not want to cover the real story. The American people, however, should know just how dishonest the Clintons are.

It is interesting how Hillary has a SELECTIVE MEMORY, she forgets everything she can be held accountable for!!!! Well, I for one do not want a President or any Public official who has that kind of MEMORY.
Wonder when the Concussion cleared up? Evidently NOT YET
