Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton humble beginnings in the practice of law did not manifest as one would think by the Described Smartest Woman in the world. And to proclaim as a champion of the Children’s Defense Fund is a bit of a reach.
According to The Daily Caller:
Before graduating from Yale Law School in 1973, Mrs. Clinton moved in various legal circles of the New Left, often donating spare time to radical causes. She spent the summer of 1971 in California as a summer associate at Treuhaft, Walker, and Bernstein, an Oakland based firm founded by members of the American Communist Party. The firm represented Vietnam protestors at the University of California at Berkley as well as the Black Panther Party, a black power militant group.
On taking her J.D. in 1973, she sat for the D.C. and Arkansas bar exams, marking a fairly prosaic start to her career as a legal practitioner. Clinton failed the D.C. bar exam, an experience Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Bernstein characterized as a spectacular flameout in his 2007 biography of the Democratic presidential nominee.
It is not bad to fail and get up and try again, for it is the nature of all to be the best one can be, but to alter the story for the purpose Political gain is not a way of gaining trust from the electorate.
