I need a bit of wisdom. Everyone does. How about this:
‘The remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics”.’
The Power to force a specific fact into the limelight is a powerful force especially when such a fact distracts attention away from another fact. In effect, of course, one fact becomes more powerful than the other fact.
Statistics do not lie no more than a gun (or box cutter) can kill.
People lie. People kill.
Example:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/
Some statistics can be 'officially' determined from that link above. One of those statistics counts people who are no longer living because someone, not some thing, killed them.
Finding out who killed them is finding a fact. Call it fact finding.
One of the candidates ONLY ONE supports a fact finding endeavor known euphemistically as IMPEACHMENT.
See how this works?
Someone kills someone and then another person endeavors to account for the killing. When this doesn't happen, then, the killer tends to keep on killing. Is this too tough to understand? Is this beyond comprehension for someone running for the Job of president of the united states?
Is this too much for THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
What are some of the qualifications for the job? Must one be capable of mass murder AND have the ability to dodge accountability for the crime of mass murder?
How about some more wisdom?

Use your own mind - that is where wisdom exists.
