"I don't recall..." the useful tome used by President Ronald Reagan when he was being grilled by a hostile Democratic subcommittee (I think it was in the "Irangate" investigation, whether arms were traded for the release of the hostages [when President Reagan took office], or not). But Clinton has taken the traditional Presidential "Fifth Amendment Plea" to the extreme!
First, most people were so glad to be rid of the incompetent Carter Administration (they of the helicopters-in-the-sandstorm-fiasco) that they didn't really care how Reagan got the hostages out, just that he did! Second, his election was already past, and they could recognize a "sour grapes" Congressional hearing when they saw one. So, Reagan was obviously withholding information from Congress that the American public really didn't care about, and they new that the Democrats were on a "fishing expedition" to find some impeachable offense to get rid of the President that the majority of America had just elected.
Hillary's situation is quite different. She hasn't even been elected yet, and it's not a matter of protecting herself from legal prosecution, it's a matter of protecting her "electability" image, as an honest, and wise, (and, yes, "legal") Presidential candidate! If she can't convince the voters that she held those characteristics as Secretary of State, how will she convince them that she will "miraculously" find them as President??? She can "stone-wall" the F.B.I., but she can't force the voting public to believe her, when they don't need "legal proof" to form their opinion of her, before voting. As I said before, it doesn't matter to me whether the Clintons spend the next four years in jail, or whether they take all their "slush-fund" bribery money to Switzerland, and live like royalty, God will settle accounts with their behavior, eventually. And He "recalls" everything,whether they do, or not!
The important thing is that the voting public recognizes her as the incompetent liar she is, and wakes up in time to keep them (both) out of the White House in the future!!!
