Clinton explained that she was trying to say that her answers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation were consistent with what she has said in public but had conflated the two thoughts to wrongly suggest that Comey had vouched for her public statements.

“I was pointing out … that [FBI] Director [James] Comey had said that my answers in my FBI interview were truthful”.
Mr Comey told Congress last month he could not say if Mrs Clinton had lied to Americans about her email practices.
“I may have short-circuited and for that I will try to clarify”, she said. Clinton did not say she herself “short-circuited”.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton as “mentally unstable” at a Saturday campaign rally, seizing on her admission that she “short-circuited” in comments about her private email use at the state department. Not only does she lie, she lies about whether she lied or not. “He retweets white nationalists”.
Trump used it as an opportunity to go after his opponent, saying he’s not sure if Clinton is up to the task of being president.
“Every time I’ve done a job, people have counted on me and trusted me”, Clinton said during the question-and-answer session at the joint convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Assn. of Hispanic Journalists.
“We’re going to be real transparent, absolutely”, he said.
Trump quickly pounced on Clinton’s comments.
Mrs. Clinton also criticized Mr. Trump on Friday as someone who would be a risky president and stressed that if elected, she would work on issues related to systemic racism and the economy that often hit black and Hispanic communities the hardest. Look up the word “BRAINWASHED”, he added.
No, it doesn’t. Again, he’s said that Clinton claim after Clinton claim is “not true”.
“This will be for the president and the president-elect to decide”, he said. “We are out of the ditch that we were in and now we’ve got to do even more”.
What he said was there was not enough grounds to prosecute her.
“She is a totally unhinged person”.
“The economy the media and the Clinton Machine is describing is an economy that doesn’t exist for most Americans”, Trump said. Chris might have been asking her a different question.
Wallace didn’t hold back as he pressed Becerra, a strong Clinton ally. The last such huddle was on July 31 in Ashland, Ohio. As it turns out, Clinton’s contentions in the interview were misleading, bordering on false. I have heard Hillary Clinton say over and over again when I’ve been sitting next to her and when I’ve watched her on T.V. that, with respect to the e-mails, “I made a mistake, and I’ve learned something, and I wouldn’t do it again”. The growing frustration among reporters and the criticism about the lack of accessibility has irked some Clinton’s campaign officials.

To her pledge that she had turned over all her work-related email, Mr. Comey testified: “No, we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned”. “I understand why Trump’s trying to make something out of it, but there’s just no there there”.
