    “It depends on what the definition of ‘it’ is.”

    I know an affair is a weird thing to bring a president down for (seriously America?), but the above quote (which is the first thing that shows up on Google autosearch when you type “it depends on”) is trying hard. As someone who has dodged her share of questions before, Bill Clinton might as well have chewed it over with Twix.

      Pendantic, but it was “is is,” not “it is.”

      Contending his statement that “there’s nothing going on between us” had been truthful because he had no ongoing relationship with Lewinsky at the time he was questioned, Clinton said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.

    Maybe not so much question dodging as it was just dodging the issue that was being raised (his preparedness for the presidency). He basically said this statement two times in a row and the 2nd time it had nothing to do with what was just said:

    “Let’s dispel with this fiction that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is trying to change this country. He wants America to become more like the rest of the world.” (Sen. Marco Rubio in 2016)

    Say someone was accused of doing something, but there was no proof, even though they knew they did the thing except for the judge, and everyone knows they did the thing, just keep your lips sealed during all questions and claim the 5th.
