A reply showed, which the poster did not deny, that she worked on the Watergate case. Certainly, any rational person would admit that Watergate was a famous legal case in USA history.

The original poster replies with:


When faced with an answer to his own question, the poster chose to reframe his question rather than admit that he made a mistake. In fact, a little googling shows that the Watergate trial DID launch the career of Hillary Rodham, and that Watergate actually predated her marriage to Bill Clinton.

So, we can see here that the entire original poster's claim, that "<i>She was hired in a law firm after her husband became govenor</i>" is actually factually incorrect.

It is this sort of evasion and denial which I think helps lower the standards of discussion on this forum. If a poster makes a factual error, they should be mature and intelligent enough to admit it.
I worked on a case when I was in a lawfirm that defined the copyrights of human DNA. I was on a team of over 100 lawyers, paralegals and research assistance.
So Can I run for office and say I was on this landmark case?


When i read about Watergate, and I have, for ten years. I have not heard HIlary's name mentioned, that is untill the above post.
Methinks had she been important to the case, her name would have popped up before. I suspect this is overinflating her worth after she has become famous. WHy is here name not mentioned in any books about Watergate? Any movies? Was she a gloried research asistanct? What did she do on the case? I think its a bit overblown.
