Clinton acknowledges misspeaking about FBI director’s testimony
Source: The Washington Post
In an effort to clarify her most recent statements about her use of a private email server as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton on Friday only further muddled a controversy that has dogged her presidential candidacy from the start.
Clinton acknowledged that she had misspoken in two recent media interviews when she claimed that FBI Director James Comey had characterized as "truthful" all of her public statements about her use of a private email server as secretary of state.
She explained that Comey was referring only to her interviews with the FBI -- but she also insisted that all of her other public statements on the matter have been consistent with those interviews.
I may have short-circuited and I will try to clarify, Clinton told reporters at a convention of black and Hispanic journalists in Washington on Friday.

The FBI director said she didn't lie to the FBI.
Ergo, she didn't lie to the public.
The "short circuit."

(6,665 posts)Probably not the best metaphor to use in this instance--brain fart means the same thing but is more colloquial and therefore less likely to have armchair would-be physicians come up with a diagnosis.

(17,021 posts)When you know what you want to say, but give a short version. When I do it, I assume the other person knows everything I'm referencing. She should just start saying 'asked and answered' just like you would with a toddler and move on.

(47,535 posts)They're desperate for something to attack her with. It can't be All-Trump-All-The-Time in NewsLand. It has to be about the horserace. She needs to cut them off with something short and memorable, and then move on with the interview. They're fishing, and I hope she doesn't take the hook anymore.
