Hillary's aides were interviewed by FBI the last few weeks (CNN) why did she say that they weren't

[Rosa Luxemburg]

In recent weeks, multiple aides have been interviewed -- some more than once, the officials said.

yet

And Clinton on MSNBC said neither she nor her staff have yet been contacted by the FBI, which is investigating the handling of classified information on the private email server she used a secretary of state.

so which is it? If one is lying then one has to be consistent

[Renew Deal]

1. Maybe it was true when she said it

Huma was interviewed very recently.

[NWCorona]

3. Nope!

Huma was interviewed on April 5th and Hillary gave the interview this week.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

13. that's a month

[NWCorona]

14. Exactly!

So why are we learning about it after NY? Just like the Guccifer story. It was sat on as well

[questionseverything]

22. mispeakanese

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

51. Nothing Hillary says is to be believed... why Bernie is the one we need to dump Trump.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[NWCorona]

2. It's Hillary trying to play cya. nt

[Press Virginia]

4. I don't think she knows how to tell the truth

[rhett o rick]

5. It's actually a compulsion that hampers the Wealthy. They seem to think

that they have a right to say whatever they want and the lowly peons can just shut up and listen.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

52. Well, at least we have Bernie... Hillary will soon be an afterthought.

[FlatBaroque]

56. So true. The wealthy have convinced themselves that they deserve

what they have, and the ends justify the means. It is the worship of money above all else that is at the core of this psychosis.

[rhett o rick]

65. It's called mammon: The greedy pursuit of wealth or love of such. nm

[Barack_America]

6. Silly Rosa, their attorneys were contacted, not them.

Her staff was "interviewed" by the FBI, not "contacted".

Remember, this is Clinton-speak, not standard English.

[grasswire]

9. yep, you have to parse every Clinton word.

They are masters of evasive speech.

[Kip Humphrey]

53. What the definition of "is" is.

[fun n serious]

39. Current staff and SOS aids are different...

[nc4bo]

7. HRC:"You're asking me to say I have never, I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will"

L.I.E.

[merrily]

27. She only misspeaks.

That is the exact same thing as very different from lying

[bobbobbins01]

29. Its not a lie if you believe it.

[AirmensMom]

8. Maybe something about

The meaning of the word "is" ... Or some variation of that, like the meaning of "interviewed" or "contacted."

[bobbobbins01]

10. But but but....maybe Huma didn't TELL Hillary she was contacted...

Or some other bullshit we'll be hearing any minute.

[LisaM]

11. She didn't mention her staff in the second link.

She just said they hadn't contacted her.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. see here

she said "She nor her staff have yet been contacted"

[LisaM]

19. No, doesn't say it in the second link.

Whoever wrote the little blurb above the link misquoted the article.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. it was MSNBC

And Clinton said neither she nor her staff have yet been contacted by the FBI,

[LisaM]

33. Then they misquoted themselves!

Either that or we are linking to 2 different articles.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

34. look at the article

[HooptieWagon]

12. Were her lips moving?

Then she was lying.

[Live and Learn]

23. +1000 nt

[MissDeeds]

62. Bingo! n/t

[catnhatnh]

16. Here's the thing...

The lie (or parsing if you prefer) did her ABSOLUTELY no good. It gave her no advantage. Any sane person would realize that the truth would come out and that when it did her reply could hurt her but ABSOLUTELY could not help ANYTHING. And when you consider that as part of her mental makeup the thought of her in high office becomes scary as hell.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. Then why would she blatantly lie on TV?

[winter is coming]

18. Some habitual liars live in the moment.

I knew a guy like this and he told me that he believed he could convince anyone of anything, so long as he could keep talking.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. but this is serious stuff

at first I thought it was just passive stuff but I see now this is something very big

[HooptieWagon]

25. Why would she claim she came under sniper fire?

She is just a habitual liar.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. yes that was really bizarre

[merrily]

28. Why did she "misspeak" about the airport, Sir Hillary, the Marines?

[elehhhhna]

48. Habit.

[Bob41213]

58. You think she knew the truth would come out 5 days later?

I assume she knew the interviews would come out later but not likely right after she made her statement. I bet she assumed there would be enough wiggle room to claim she didn't lie.

Not like any "reporter" would ask her about it. I got to see CNN last night discuss the email topic and the amount of misinformation in Clinton's favor that was reported was atrocious. It was like Clinton talking points.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. It's awfully quiet on this thread

you could hear 'a pin drop'

[bigtree]

57. bullshit speculation/baiting

...you're leveraging off of right-wing scandalmongering in a cynical attempt to support your candidate.

You don't deserve substantive responses.

[catnhatnh]

59. And your response is certainly that (non-substantive)

what is being discussed is Clinton's seemingly habitual and needless lying and how that might play out through the campaign...

[bigtree]

60. there it is

...that line of political rhetoric of yours follows the republican propagandists script against Hillary almost verbatim.

It really is a good preview of the upcoming campaign against the republican demagogue. I'm thinking that it's losing right now in this primary, and it's even more of a loser in the fall campaign for republicans.

[catnhatnh]

61. It sucks to be you...

...because Hillary is clearly following the same script. No one baited or tricked her-they asked a straight forward question and she told a bare faced lie.

[bigtree]

64. that should give you some comfort and camaraderie

...misery loves company.

[Marr]

30. This shows clearly that Hillary's only real priority is Hillary. Not the party, not the voters,

not the country.

She's strained to keep this out of sight until we're locked into nominating her.

[pat_k]

31. She is doing herself no favors.

Soliciting money from adherents of the BushCheney regime. Denying FBI contacts that have in fact occurred. It's not like there wasn't enough shit already. What next?

I'm in the "stop Trump" camp, committed to supporting Trump's opponent, but it's getting harder and harder to even look at her, much less lift a finger to help.

If only enough superdelegates would wake the fuck up by July 25th. We need Big Wins. Our wake up calls!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

54. The super-delegates SERIOUSLY need to wake the fuck up!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[cherokeeprogressive]

32. She is FIRST and FOREMOST a LAWYER. Orwell's term "newspeak" was inspired by lawyers.

Lawyers just like Hillary Clinton and her husband.

[riderinthestorm]

35. Because she lied. I think she wanted to keep the facade of normalcy for as long as possible

Shit's getting real.

[winter is coming]

49. My guess is that she was hoping things wouldn't catch up to her until

after she was President, and then she'd just ride it out. Welp.

[840high]

36. She lies so easily.

[fun n serious]

37. Wow...

She said neither her or her staff have been interviewed. Staff and AIDS to the SOS are a lot different! Y'all are desperate

[Rosa Luxemburg]

40. not really

[fun n serious]

41. Current staff and aids of the SOS..

Yes. Very different!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

42. not

[fun n serious]

43. Explain yourself

[Rosa Luxemburg]

46. The FBI will explain everything to you

[Nancyswidower]

63. Huma Abedin???

[basselope]

38. Because she's been LyinSinceBirth

[fun n serious]

44. She is actually a lot more honest than Sanders

[Rosa Luxemburg]

45. LOL

[basselope]

47. Nope. LyinSinceBirth.

[JoePhilly]

50. The search for outrages continues.

[kgnu_fan]

55. It's a habit. She cannot help it. Lying is in her blood.

[Doctor_J]

66. As seen in this thread, her minions don't care how much she lies

Lying is part of her - just like it's part of George w Bush.

[felix_numinous]

67. This doesn't even qualify as 'truthiness'

it is just lies.

[Bob41213]

68. According to CBS, Huma was interviewed IN APRIL

Be nice if a reporter at least called her on this:


One of her top aides, Huma Abedin was interviewed by the FBI at its Washington field office in April, an official familiar with the investigation told CBS News Friday.

[cui bono]

69. Because it's what she does.

She lies.
