Hillary Clinton Deceit

The Washington Times covers a number of issues from Hillary Clinton's new book.
Two of these are interesting in the nature of deceit.
In her book Hillary claims that when she and Bill Clinton left the White House, they were dead broke. She is referring to the time when Pres. Bill Clinton was replaced by George W. Bush on January 20, 2001. The deceit aspect of being "dead broke" implies they had no cash and no opportunity to obtain any. 
The Clintons had $12 million of debt, when Pres. Bill Clinton left office. $8 million of that was paid by a Legal Defense Fund in 2001. The remaining $4 million debt was covered by a cash advance of $8 million on Hillary's book, before they left office. This would have given them net assets of $4 million.
Before Hillary retired as Secretary of State, she made $186,300 per year. Her 2011 income was $13,800,000. Last report on her net worth was $13,100,000, which did not include the value of her primary residence. She also gets an average $200,000 per speech.
Not bad for someone who claims being dead broke, and having net assets of $4 million at the same time; plus subsequent gains in 10 years to develop a net worth of almost $14 million.
We won't talk about the earnings of Bill Clinton, but you can be sure they are even better.
The second interesting thing involving deceit is Benghazi. In her book, Hillary says she would have given anything to see that Benghazi never happened. Nowhere does she address the fact that she apparently made no attempt to save her Libyan Ambassador and several of his associates as they were being attacked in Benghazi.
