This may shock you: Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest [More]That someone fired for lying is making such a claim doesn't shock me at all, Jill Abramson.
But here, let me agree with you for a moment, and give a demonstrable example of Hillary being precisely honest:
“There is no classified marked information on those emails, sent or received by me."True. Official markings are "Confidential" or "Secret" or "Top Secret."

And also true, none of the e-mails she sent or received were so marked.
Their labels were stripped before her aides forwarded those e-mails to her, which is a federal crime.
And she didn't re-label them when she saw information she reasonably knew or should have known should have been labeled, which is another federal crime.
But she's not lying about it. Technically. (But what she doesn't say speaks volumes, as does the definition of 'is'.)
Attorneys and lawyers do nothing but lie. They think and believe that's their job. And doing so by omission (or diversion) is every bit as much a lie as doing so directly.

One can claim that Hillary is fundamentally honest, if one ignores every instance where she fundamentally lied.
