I don't know about you but, if I was a United States Secretary of State who was running a clandestine email server in an effort to skirt regulations and hide my communications, I'd remember whether or not I told my aides to destroy those emails when it looked like I was in hot water. I mean, that's just me. It's just the sort of thing I'm likely to recall. You might be different.
Hillary certainly is. She can't seem to remember anything. It's almost like she has some sort of amnesia regarding what is now obviously an extensive cover-up of her yoga classes and wedding plans.
As the Daily Mail reports; when pressed on the 33,000 emails she deleted, Hillary "didn't recall" the answers to 21 of 25 questions she was asked under oath:Hillary Clinton used variations of 'I don't recall' 21 times when asked 25 questions under oath about how she deleted 33,000 State Department emails. Sworn written testimony obtained by Judicial Watch show the Democratic presidential candidate dodged virtually all of the questions about the correspondences she removed from her private server while she was Secretary of State. A federal judge ordered Clinton's legal team to turn over written responses to questions concerning the so-called 'homebrew' server. Clinton signed the document containing the answers, written by her lawyers on her behalf, on Monday under 'penalty of perjury'. The former First Lady sidestepped most of the questions, and insisted that she did not 'recall' if anyone told her she could be breaking the law by deleting the emails. She also said she could not remember ever being warned about hacking threats to her private account or server.
Hey, she doesn't recall having conversations about the preservation or deletion of her emails. It all just happened! So lay off her, OK? After all, she had a concussion ...or something.1.
