Clinton Told FBI She Couldn’t Recall Briefings Due to Concussion

Last month, Donald Trump said Hillary Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina” to fight the war against terror. His surrogates followed up by also intimating that Hillary Clinton’s health problems have affected her job performance. The Clinton supporters and the media were quite disdainful of this accusation. CNN even called those asking questions about Clinton’s health the “new birthers.”

But whether Trump supporters had good reason to question her health is now irrelevant, because according to the FBI, Hillary Clinton told them her health problems may have contributed to her violating national security laws. From Reuters:

Said the report, “Clinton said she received no instructions or direction regarding the preservation or production of records from (the) State (Department) during the transition out of her role as Secretary of State in 2013. “However, in December of 2012, Clinton suffered a concussion and then around the New Year had a blood clot (in her head). Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received,” the report said.

The alternative explantion is that Hillary Clinton is using her health problems as a convenient excuse to explain her illegal actions. But either explanation raises serious questions about her fitness for for office.
