Matt Lauer was fired for reported sexual harassment. Watch him question Hillary Clintons judgment.

Things got off to a bad start. In the second question of the evening, Lauer asked Clinton to name the most important quality of a commander-in-chief. As she talked about steadiness, strength, and the ability to make difficult decisions, he interrupted her: “You’re talking about judgment,” he said.

She hadn’t exactly been talking about judgment, but the reason for his interruption became clear a few moments later, when he said, “the word judgment has been used a lot around you, Secretary Clinton, over the last year and a half, and in particular concerning your use of your personal email and server to communicate while you were Secretary of State.”

“You’ve said it’s a mistake,” he continued. “Why wasn’t it more than a mistake? Why wasn’t it disqualifying, if you want to be commander-in-chief?”

Clinton answered him — and then she answered again, and again, as Lauer peppered her with question after question about the emails. When Lauer took the first question from the audience, the question was about emails. All the talk about Clinton’s email server left less time for other topics, and at several points, as Michael M. Grynbaum of the New York Times noted, Lauer interrupted Clinton to tell her time was running out.

Don't they think that recording their actions is a form of documentation?

Of course their voters can deny the video as "fake news."

I just wish that they would move to Kansas, so they can orgasm in their low tax nirvana and the rest of us can get on with our lives.
