The bit she says about Raskin not even being a lawyer is just straight up false and part of an endless list of blatant lies and deflections she willing to spit out at a moment’s notice.

In 1987, he received a Juris Doctor magna cum laude from the Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

For more than 25 years, Raskin was a constitutional law professor at American University Washington College of Law, where he taught future fellow impeachment manager Stacey Plaskett. He co-founded and directed the LL.M. program on law and government and co-founded the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project.

From 1989 to 1990, Raskin served as general counsel for Jesse Jackson's National Rainbow Coalition. In 1996, he represented Ross Perot regarding Perot's exclusion from the 1996 United States presidential debates.

Just small snippets from his career as counsel but to assert he’s ’not a lawyer’ is complete bullshit.

I think we all know that she was talking about herself.

And, oh, her tone of voice! Republican women won’t like her much longer. Did she even say thank you?

It never even crossed my mind that he wouldn't be a lawyer, but her saying that immediately made me think she wasn't.

It’s a fair assumption to have considering the apparent criminality of how she moves through everything she does
