MSM: Yeah,
Hillary Seems to Have Lied A Lot in That CNN Interview
Guy Benson
Jul 09, 2015
You already knew this, of course -- for reasons Katie and I have been
spelling out in great detail. But it's useful to note that mainstream
media organizations are also taking Mrs. Clinton to task for a serving
up a string of falsehoods in her first national media interview of a
three-month-old campaign. Fittingly, this was the same sit-down
in which Clinton insisted that Americans "should and do" trust
her. CNN blew up Hillary's claim that she was never subpoenaed,
dispatching a correspondent to Trey Gowdy's office for proof:
Gowdy then appeared on the Hugh Hewitt Show last night and responded to
Hillary's assertions in-depth:
"It is a fact that there was a subpoena issued to
her in March of 2015…it's also a fact that there was a subpoena in
existence from another Congressional committee far before that one. So
there are two subpoenas, there are letters from Congress, and there's a
statutory obligation to her to preserve public records. So whether it's
a subpoena in place, or whether it's a statute in place, or whether
it's a Congressional investigation in place, you can't delete and wipe
out public records… [Her statement] is false. I can prove that it’s
false, and I can prove that [she] should have known it was false at the
time. What I cannot do is climb into someone’s head. I just can’t do
it. But for my purposes, it is enough that I know it was false, it was
false at the time you said it, and I can make a pretty good
circumstantial case that you should have known it was false.
The Wall Street Journal tackled the subpoena lie, too, but also called
out a number of off additional factually-inaccurate statements Hillary
continues to advance. A few portions of the Journal's fact check:
1.) “Everything I did was permitted. There was no
law. There was no regulation. There was nothing that did not give me
the full authority to decide how I was going to communicate.”
...The practice did, however, contravene the State
Department’s recommendations and guidelines...
