It never happened.
It happened but I didn't do it.
I SAID I DIDN'T DO IT, no matter what the police and prosecutors say.
OK, I did it, but it's not illegal.
OK, I did it, and it's illegal, but it's just a process crime, so it's no big deal.
OK, I did it, and it's illegal, and it's more than a technical violation, but it's personal so why are you still investigating it?
OK, I did it, and it's illegal, and it's a serious offense, but OH MY GOD WHAT ABOUT HER EMAILS! And Benghazi! And the birth certificate!
