Not really criminal. She is saying that they only answered questions they wanted to answer, only provided access they wanted to provide, only talked about their own issues, and pretty much left the press to fend for themselves.
It’s the PRESS that accepted this entire situation, and never told the American People that the press was being denied access to information.
I don’t think it was that hard for them either. Most of the press never asked a question that would have bothered them.
I think that's the crux. Every campaign *tries* to control media coverage - they hire people with this stated goal.
