Damned if she is, damned if she isn't.

Hillary made a big mistake the other day on Inside Edition when she said, in regards to her husband's Weather Underground pardons, "Well, I didn't know anything about it."

Oh, reeeeeeeeeally.

I'm glad to see that Josh is diving into this story, because a response of "I didn't know anything about it," just begs reporters to prove her wrong.  Any sort of flat denial like this raises more questions than it answers, because a touchstone of Hillary's campaign has been the implied assertion that she was something of a co-president or at the least a trusted adviser during her husband's tenure.  Hilariously, any time a current issue becomes unpopular (NAFTA, pardons), Hillary seems to have been magically absent from those White House discussions or was, even more amazingly, "secretly" lobbying against it.

Simply put, Hillary put her foot in her mouth big time in the Inside Edition interview.  If she would have instead just obfuscated or ducked the question, I'm sure she'd keep skating for a few more weeks.  Instead, she flatly denied knowledge of the pardons and pricked the ears of journalists around the country.  Bad move.

The fact is, Bill's pardons are a huge deal and they are going to be a big issue in a general election should HRC get the nod.  And so it comes down to: either she knew about them or she didn't.  If she knew about them, and I think there's ample evidence that she must have known about most of them and possibly even lobbied on behalf of some of those who were pardoned, then she needs to explain herself.  On the other hand, if these were all done without her knowledge, let alone without her consultation, then it raises serious questions about how much of the White House operated on a level above Ms. Clinton's head.

To sum: either she knew about the pardons and is outright lying, or she didn't know about them and her claim to have been a major player in the White House should be seriously questioned.

So, which is it, Hillary?  Are you lying to us, or have you been exaggerating your role in the White House?  You can't have it both ways.
