Clinton's comment provides insight

During a recent town-hall type meeting in New Hampshire, Clinton said of the Congressional Select Committee, “I would never have done that, and if I were president and there were Republicans or Democrats thinking about that, I would have done everything to shut it down.”



As she is prone to do when angry, Clinton provided great insight into her character and view of the role of the president.

Her statement clearly conveys repudiation of the separate but equal constitutional premise of the three branches of our government.  She clearly believes of legitimate congressional action that she can "shut it down."  For the moment, suspend any thoughts or suspicion about the motivation of the committee.  

Congress has the right, the duty to oversee the actions of the president.  That is exactly why the Constitution provides Congress the power to impeach a sitting president.  The Constitution does not provide the president the power to shut down congressional activity.

Looking to the future, another of her statements has once more disqualified her from the office she seeks.  Together with her long, checkered history of prevarication and misrepresentation, Clinton's periodic statements providing insight into her character and her view of the role of the president offer clear and convincing evidence of her unsuitability to be president.
