I think I received training in how to use a pencil sharpener at some point in my life, but most of the time I just rely on the official supply of fresh pencils. Does this make me unqualified to use a pencil sharpener? | ||

Why would this be any different? Well, this is a simple exercise in reading comprehension, so I'd hope people would figure it out easily enough. | ||

I mean, when people try to spin obvious cronyism into "she knows how to get things done cuz she knows how to trade favors for power" I think the chances of that are pretty much nil. | ||

Well, normally this would be a simple question of "stupid or liar," but but in Hillary's case, we can also throw in neurological disorder from her head injury. | ||

As a lawyer I would expect you to know that 'I don't remember' is the default answer to any question. | ||

While I don't necessarily agree with xDaunt, I'd point out there's a big difference between a statement made semi-privately to cover your own ass in a legal setting, and one thats going to be public due to the scrutiny you're under as a public official and candidate for the highest office. What is legally the safest thing to say and what makes you look the least bad to the public are two different things. Most people don't have to worry about the latter, but for Hillary Clinton that isn't the case. | ||

OK. you cant ignore the obvious problems with Trumps refusal to do certain things and excoriate Hillary for hers. Especially when the nature of the action is worlds apart in terms of the impact. | ||

In that case, I'd very clearly say something to the effect of "I don't know." No point guessing why the officer pulled me over when it could be for any number of things -- even if I knew I was speeding. EDIT: And before you say it, yes, I do know better than to admit to a crime. | ||

What is the obvious question she should have answered directly out of those listed in the picture? Pretty much all of them look vague or distant (8 years or more ago) enough to not be obvious. The most standout (and only one to me) is probably not a giving a basic example of a classified document. | ||

You can't tell what was asked from looking at those notes, so I can't tell you what she should have said differently in response to any specific question. However, those notes very clearly demonstrate that Hillary was so ignorant of how the confidentiality system worked that she was entirely reliant upon others for her own compliance. That is a very troubling discovery. | ||

For me tho considering the amount of documents that will be passing through the State department it makes sense to primarily leave it to others to sort it out. | ||
