Hillary spox: Former Sec. of State "knew nothing" of allegations of dept. misconduct

In response to yesterday’s report from CBS News regarding allegations of cover-ups of State Dept. misconduct under then- Sec. of Hillary Clinton’s watch, here’s what her spokesman had to say (bolded emphasis added by me):

On Tuesday, Nicholas Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, said Clinton was completely unaware of any of the investigations mentioned in the Office of the Inspector General’s reports and memos, including the case involving her personal security detail allegedly soliciting prostitutes.

“We learned of it from the media and don’t know anything beyond what’s been reported,” Merrill told CNN in a written statement.

Clinton officially left her post in February.

But of course. No one who has ever worked in a senior position FOR or IN this administration ever knows anything – from Attorney General Eric Holder, to IRS director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner, to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the President himself! My friend AG Conservative said it best:

So Hillary is basically admitting she will be about as good of an executive as Obama. Nobody is responsible, and nobody knows anything.

Indeed. Just one more on a looooong list of reasons why Hillary Clinton should never be President of the United States.

Obama, Holder, Clinton — This.

If she’s so unaware of so much, then it’s time for her to retire from all public office! We need leaders who are “in the know,” make wise decisions, have a sense of humor, and accept responsibility for what they do and say.

Seems to me, with all the people (starting with our Idiot-in-Chief) who don’t know a thing about what’s happening anytime, anywhere, with anybody, it’s time we made a constitutional amendment that whoever is elected to office or appointed by said electee, an admission of “I don’t know” or anything similar can be used as a statement of “I quit!”

Why, we’d be rid of 3/4 of the administration just in the last 45 days or so!

Thrillary knows for a solid and certain fact that her political destiny lies with the gossamer hope that nothing will come to light of her scandal-plagued tenure as Secretary of State. Her only defense now is the first line of defense for a POW, lie and deny. But that soon will fail.

In the past five months she has told enough white lies to ice a cake.

This is not surprising in anyway. These people are such pathetic lowlifes, yet the duped on the left will vote for them time and time again. – Lorica

I agree, Lorica… these people really do not care about the American people, our country, or individual lives. It’s almost insane how their followers are in lock-step. Katee Sackoff tweeted about gun safety … and lose half of her followers. Liberals are not tolerant nor do they respect the rights of others to disagree. It’s gotten to the point where anything a Democrat does.. is okay, while the IRS government employees who are living large on the taxpayers’ dime–target conservatives with impunity. Clinton crossed over the line with her comment asking what difference it makes. To those of us who care, it makes a major difference between leaders you trust and leaders who are self-serving narcissistic tyrants.

For the extreme micromanagers each in the pic is, how difficult is it to believe their “selective amnesia” is simply a fall-back position to take until whatever the current scandal blows over, especially since our Dear Leader uses every possible opportunity to get his goofy-looking mug in front of all the turnips out here just so we know he’s “on the job?”

But why should he worry (reminiscent of Alfred E. Newman of Mad Magazine)? He’s got his, he doesn’t feel compelled to do his job, and as for the rest of us, “Let them eat cake.”
