Examples of clearly in a Sentence

1. Marie Yovanovitch:

   I do not understand Mr. Giuliani's motives for attacking me, nor can I offer an opinion on whether Rudy Giuliani believed the allegations Rudy Giuliani spread about me, clearly, no one at State Department did. What I can say is that Rudy Giuliani should have known those claims were suspect, coming as they reportedly did from individuals with questionable motives and with reason to believe that their political and financial ambitions would be stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.

2. Billy Joe Saunders:

   I just want to say sorry again for everyone I've offended, i looked at it as a bit of a joke at first – I obviously wasn't thinking right – but looking back at it now I can clearly see the destruction it has caused among the women suffering from domestic violence.

3. Meredith Vieira:

   I really appreciate the #MeToo movement, I think it’s long overdue. Clearly there has been a problem that has been ignored and a lot of people have been hurt, and I think they deserve to have their truth told, what I hope happens through all of this is that we create a work place where women and men will feel safe.

4. Vali Nasr:

   Clearly in a frozen relationship, either they're kept as pawns or largely they become essentially a facet of the confrontation, if the relationship is not confrontational, or it's more stable, then it is more likely that that issue can be resolved.

5. Anna Jane Grossman:

   I really knew nothing going in. I was lucky to find my program, as soon as I stared this training, I thought,' clearly, this is what I should be doing with my life.' Everything clicked into place.
