Clinton not only has trouble with the truth; she has a long history of treating underlings like dirt. According to one recently released internal FBI document, “CLINTON’s treatment of (security) agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere. Prior to CLINTON’s tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State’s protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents. However, by the end of CLINTON’s tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her.”

This, too, is a pattern of long standing; during her husband’s tenure she went so far as to fire a White House usher for the unpardonable sin of doing a favor for former first lady Barbara Bush.

Then there is the Clinton Foundation — ostensibly a charitable endeavor, but one that lately has been revealed as a vehicle for self-dealing enrichment.

Donald Trump is, if anything, worse. He shows an even lower regard for the truth than Clinton does; if Clinton is a congenital liar, then Trump is a pathological one. He lies so often, about so much, that he may not actually be able to differentiate the truth from his own warped perceptions of the world.
