She does quite a bit of outright lying, but Hillary does more of this:
<snip>
Notice that Sanders didnt say he isnt a member of the establishment. He said he doesnt represent the establishment. That strikes me as a perfectly defensible claim.
Hillary Clinton didnt dispute it. But she did take umbrage at how Sanders characterized her. Honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment, she said. And that it is really quite amusing to me.
Did you notice how she changed his words?
Sanders said that she represents the establishment, not that she exemplifies the establishment. But even the stronger claim strikes me as true. There may not be one true definition of the establishment, but Hillary Clinton is a member by any reasonable definition.

Very lawyerly, very Clintonian, very dishonest.
