What makes this case unique is the manner in which Gowdy approaches Clinton regarding the attack. From his opening statement until his closing remarks, Gowdy does not accuse Clinton directly of any wrong doing. On the contrary he lets the evidence speak for itself.

Gowdy uses the word, Truth, 21 separate times. This is first piece of evidence

"I do not want to die in the state I am in, a state of ugliness. I want to be saved. How shall I be saved? By doing what I do not want to do. That is the first step: that I know. I must love, first of all, the unlovable" ( Age of Iron 136). Elizabeth Curren starts her narrative by telling two incidents: a homeless man whom she depicts resting on her belongings and "the news from Dr. Syfret" that her cancer has metastasized to the bone. This mysterious opening replicates the dim minute in the South

According to all laws of aviation, the bee should not be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible. If you have ever seen the bee movie you would know that when the bees were not pollinating the flowers, trees, and all other plants suffered.

Wildlife Conservation is often seen as a bad thing, but if you look at it from my perspective, then it is actually a good thing. People think of it as holding wild animals captive, but we are actually protecting them from poachers.
