if they want to believe it's true. Most lies are told for a reason. There's a purpose, an agenda behind them. If people agree with that purpose, they will tend to believe lies that are told in support of it.
Anyway the truth is not an absolute thing that everyone agrees on. There are shadings and hidden contours to it, and it can appear quite different when viewed from different angles.

They vary from person to person based on their own needs and desires.

One reason some believe her is that she lies with confidence. She expects to be believed and that sets the listener up to accept what she says. People tend to be rather unsophisticated about detecting lies relying often on body language that can also be deceptive.

For today's so-called journalists, it is more matter of keeping their jobs. Others in the corporate media are not going to back them up if they decide to insist on the truth. They sooth their conscience with telling themselves that someday they will write a best selling book revealing the deceptions, but for now they need to play along. After all, look what is happening to whistle blowers in this current culture.

Another reason for some people would be that they just plain old want to believe despite all the evidence of their own eyes and ears. So they deny their own reality in order to support the lies for some kind of emotional payoff.

Some feel guilty for not voting for her in 2008 as Obama has turned out to not be the answer. The pity vote for her not being nominated in 2008. The "she's a woman" excuse that blinds some to everything else. We have heard over and over people say that they support HRC simply becasue she is a woman (with no other reason). Some (obviously many) people are willing to overlook the lies in order to achieve a certain goal that makes them feel better about themselves.

Other people feel empathy for HRC as the cheated-upon wife (the victim) and for having lost the previous nomination (it's her turn). They are pretty sure they know how they would feel if they had been in those situations, but fail to see that HRC did not react or feel the way that most people would. So people are willing to give her more leeway, and once they have invested emotionally in her, they are unable to break away.

Then there is the "all politicians lie" meme. People have come to expect politicians to lie and with HRC they excuse one after another without looking at the build up of lie after lie after lie.

Press conference? Going on about a year now since she had one, I think.

(where, btw are the ghost writers? deceased?)

,,,,and then says she returned to Arkansas to be with the one she loved and passed the bar there.

her stellar rise to New York Senator after having been a resident for only one year! That would have absolutely nothing to do with being FLOTUS, of course!

that it is true that she failed the DC bar exam but passed the Arkansas bar exam. It did not say if she failed it more than once though.

Do you have any citations for that?

physically contained in a State of Florida government building--not in his home basement, or bathroom.

(Or, wherever FSC had the server stored at Chappaqua.)

IIRC, Colin Powell stated that he had used his personal email account for State Department 'housekeeping, or Administrative business, on limited occasions.

I thought he said it was his Gmail account on a Sunday political program, but I just read that it was an AOL account. At any rate, he didn't have his own private server.
