Letter: Hillary Clinton as president would be a disaster

On Feb. 4, 1996, William Safire, New York Times columnist, wrote that first lady Hillary Clinton was a congenital liar. He cited a number of examples, including Whitewater and Travelgate.

Twenty years later she is still a disgrace and liar. At least five times she was cited as lying about her email by the FBI director — this in addition to her lies about Benghazi. She may have also jeopardized our national security with her illegal private emails.

To have such a person as president/commander in chief would be a disaster.
