Jill Stein Quotes

The incident had occurred when Hilary Clinton had been Secretary of State some time earlier. However, she was then the leading Democratic Candidate for President, and some Republicans wanted to question her under oath in the hopes that they could find something to embarrass her and derail her surging campaign.

The theory of the Hanna critics was that telling the truth was in this case highly embarrassing to the Party and damaged the credibility of many accusations made against Mrs. Clinton who turned the tables on the investigators in when they questioned her for over 11 hours straight, and despite the total absurdity of the hearing and the questions—all of which had been asked before, she comported herself with Presidential dignity and pretended to take the hearings very seriously and answered the same loaded questions repeatedly.
