In reply to the discussion: AJAM’s David Shuster Exclusive: Clinton to be Interviewed by FBI Director Comey in Coming Days [View all]Jarqui
(10,123 posts)Apparently the Clinton interview could be in days ...
Going back to her first press conference and since, Hillary has lied about the emails - which helped inspire the investigation - to see why she was lying. That's beyond dispute.
As Shuster reminds, Scooter Libby and Bill Clinton got into trouble - not so much for the underlying potential crime but for lying to investigators.
Hillary has spent the last 25 years having big problems telling the truth. Unlike her husband, she's not a good liar. If she has a Bosnia sniper moment with these guys, she's toast. It's one thing to lie to voters but you can't lie to top people in law enforcement trained to spot deceit who have thoroughly done their homework. Hillary's lying is so chronic, I do not know if she could help herself. This is going to be a tense moment.
So why would her lawyers let her expose herself to that? Maybe if she pleads the 5th her goose is cooked anyway.
