That is not what she said.
I showed how that if she didn't deny it, and instead said it was good when Lincoln did it, that implies she is also a fan of having one plan in public, and another in private.

But Hillary is admitting to our face that she lies to the public.
Where?
You know normally I really like your post Phage, but you are being purposefully obtuse. I posted a post about Hillarys answering of the two faced question. I showed how her defence of saying she has different policies than what she tells the public was just saying Lincoln did it and it was good.
I showed how that if she didn't deny it, and instead said it was good when Lincoln did it, that implies she is also a fan of having one plan in public, and another in private. I showed examples of how she or her camp have been shown saying different things in public and private.
I asked if that worried her supporters. You responded with a question without answering the question.
I answer your question and again ask you to answer. You now act like you don't know what I am talking about.
Thats ok Phage, people can see how biased you are being.
Beat me to it. Maybe it was a realllllllly long pee.

The President can't appoint a special prosecutor.
Trump did not say that he will, tonight. I don't know about before. Maybe he learned something.
So basically you admit you were wrong. And spent this whole time being obtuse for...?

Maybe you missed where I didn't take a pee.

Yes. The whole thing. Even though I had to pee.
Yes. I said I watched the whole thing even though I had to pee.
So you did not say

And where did said poster say in this thread "I am a Hillary Clinton supporter?" because I'm having a hard time finding it.
Biased? How, exactly? For being anti-Trump?
So people can't have an opinion with being biased? Who is the one being biased here?

The President can't appoint a special prosecutor.
Sunday's debate in St. Louis was dramatic, to say the least.
Here's the fact-check, as it happened:
Can Trump appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton?
VERDICT: TRUE
Trump said "If I win, I am going to instruct my Attorney General to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation because there has never been so many lies, so much deception." The US Attorney General does have the authority to appoint a special prosecutor, according to Stephen Vladeck, a CNN legal contributor and law professor with the University of Texas School of Law. Such action can be taken when the Attorney General determines that a criminal investigation is warranted and that an investigation by the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest or "other extraordinary circumstance" and that "under the circumstances it would be in the public interest to appoint and outside Special Counsel."
Reality Check Quick Takes: Can Trump appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton?
Trump did not say that he will, tonight.
CLINTON: Well, right. As I recall, that was something I said about Abraham Lincoln after having seen the wonderful Steven Spielberg movie called “Lincoln.” It was a master class watching President Lincoln get the Congress to approve the 13th Amendment. It was principled, and it was strategic.
And I was making the point that it is hard sometimes to get the Congress to do what you want to do and you have to keep working at it. And, yes, President Lincoln was trying to convince some people, he used some arguments, convincing other people, he used other arguments. That was a great — I thought a great display of presidential leadership.
yes he can,
The law authorizing judge-approved independent counsels lapsed in 1999. Under current law, the U.S. attorney general has a fairly wide purview to appoint a special prosecutor if she believes a criminal investigation is warranted or if the U.S. Justice Department cannot conduct the investigation independently, according to the Center for Legal and Economic Studies.
So while it would be legally possible for a President Trump to demand that his attorney general appoint a special prosecutor to investigate a former political opponent, it would be a first.
