Of course she has lied. EVERYBODY with that level of access MUST LIE FROM TIME TO TIME! It's part of the job description.

CLINTON:Well, but, you know, you're asking me to say, "Have I ever?" I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will. I'm gonna do the best I can to level with the American people.

Just part of the job, right...
