"Maybe Karl Rove is crazy like a fox.
When it comes to Hillary Clinton’s concussion and possible brain damage, Rove seems to be like a cat toying with a spider.
Two possible scenarios are at play over Clinton’s alleged injury:
She lied to get out of testifying in Congress, or she was so injured that she could have lasting damage.
But here is the trap, I believe, that devious Rove has laid:
He isn’t interested in whether Clinton has a medical problem.
He is targeting her lie, believing that she made up the injury to get out of testifying.
By questioning her fitness to run for president, he is forcing her supporters and the news media to emphasize how slight her injuries were.
Then, Republicans will be able to put two and two together for voters.On Dec. 13, 2012, Clinton ducked out of testifying before the House and Senate foreign affairs committees.
She was called to explain her disastrous failures and outright lies before, during and after the terrorist attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stephens and three other Americans.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Philippe Reines said Clinton was suffering from a stomach virus, fainted and hit her head, which caused a concussion.
Reines was vague on when the fall took place.
“I still have some lingering effects from falling on my head and having the blood clot,” Clinton said on “60 Minutes” in January 2013.
“But, you know, the doctors tell me that that will all recede.”"
