Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Hilary Clinton repeatedly told the FBI she couldn’t recall details of her email server, security clearance, briefing details. Trump supporters say she’s still suffering from the concussion in 2012. I say her inability to recall is not evidence of absent-mindedness, it’s a criminal defense necessity in a politicized law enforcement environment and she knows it, first-hand, from prior experience.
Remember Scooter Libby, convicted because he “lied” to the FBI about who “outed” Valerie Plame to him? Libby didn’t “out” Valerie Plame – that was Richard Armitage, which the prosecutors knew all along – but they were digging into who told who. Libby claimed he learned it from Tim Russert, who denied saying it.
Even the Wall Street Journal concluded the entire case was a political witch hunt based on false evidence and a colossal waste of money. But Libby remains a disbarred convicted felon.
Hillary is smart enough to know you NEVER say anything, NEVER remember anything, NEVER concede anything to the cops.
Which is not the same as saying she doesn’t actually remember.
Only that she can’t be convicted.

Deny.
Deny.
And then deny.
If that doesn’t work, ask for an attorney. Let them present the evidence in court.
How it’s done.
You should see the cover of the new National Enquirer.
Yes, she doesn’t remember, uh-huh, like she didn’t remember anything about Whitewater or a host of other things, but what is known is enough to convict her, I think. Obstruction of justice, destruction of government records, failure to keep classified information secure, perjury…..
Laws are only there to keep deplorables in line.
Libby’s main problem is he was loyal to the wrong man.
No, Libby’s point was that he talked to the cops without a lawyer to coach him.
Remember NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE without an experienced defense lawyer in attendance. It never ends well, as Libby can attest.
Notice who was the boss of the persecutor (oops, prosecutor) who put Libby in jail. Same guy who wouldn’t prosecute obvious crimes against Hilliary allowed Peter Fitzgerald to continue an investigation into actions that were not a crime.
Gotta remember nerdbert’s advice. I remember my carry permit instructor reminding people that lawyers interrogating people on the stand are not under oath–but they’ll make a big show of you being under oath to try and destroy your testimony. He mused that it would be fun to see a witness, when asked “You DO remember you’re under oath, right?”, to respond “Yes, counsel, I am under oath and you are not. Let the court and jury know.”
The guy who put Libby in prison knew who outed Plame before he asked his first question. Libby’s boss knew that. Sucks to be him.
Bush not fully pardoning Libby at the end of his term baffles my mind. Extremely disappointing IMHO.
I think the trick with why Libby was not pardoned was because of how he was convicted; more or less, according to the indictment (as rendered by Powerline), his testimony was contradicted on essential points by no less than twelve other witnesses, witnesses whose testimonies largely agreed with each other. So you’ve got pretty clear perjury/obstruction of justice AND doing things that could have gotten innocents thrown under the bus. I would guess that’s hard to forgive.
