Clinton: I ‘short-circuited’ in describing FBI findings

The Hill ^ | August 5, 2016 | Harper Neidig

Hillary Clinton admitted on Friday that she may have mischaracterized FBI Director James Comey's statements on her truthfulness during the investigation into her use of a private email server while secretary of State.

During an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists-National Association of Hispanic Journalists Convention, Clinton was asked if she had misrepresented Comey's conclusion in two recent interviews. "I was pointing out in both of those instances that Director Comey that my answers in my FBI interview were truthful," she said.

"I may have short-circuited it, and for that I will try to clarify," she added.

Guess the internal polling shows this latest lie isn’t selling, so time to hedge a bit.

She belongs either in a mental ward, adult care facility, or hospice.

You can tell just by looking at her that she’s in real had shape.

A two-fer panderfest.

Hillary could spaz out, fall on the floor, writhe like a snake and bark like a wild dog, and her polling numbers would increase.

Did she also “short circuit” when she “misspoke” and promised to raise taxes on the middle class yesterday? (By the way, Trump should already have ads on TV playing that statement over and over 24/7)

stroke, mental illness, or drugs??

or all of the above??

All she meant by that short circuited remark is this ...

Her fleshed out story is a) Comey said what she told the FBI was truthful, b) what she told the public is the same thing she told the FBI, c) long winded description of appearance of e-mails, i.e., that a "classification header" is prominent, hard to miss, and none of the e-mail she handled, had that prominent marking.

The so called short circuit is nothing more than leaving out "b" and most of "c" in her response to Wallace, this past Sunday.

This was a monumentally stupid thing to say. Thank god that Trump is running against her. He seems to be stopping the bleeding. Next week he must go on the attack.

[ColdOne]

Evil wealthy white woman telling Hispanics and BLM types how evil wealthy whites are. How she is so close to getting the WH is absolutely one of the most terrifying things ever.

[ScaniaBoy]

LYING AGAIN!!

1) Comey said that she told the truth to the FBI

2) Clinton said she told the FBI the same as has told the public.

3) Comey - in response to Rep Gowdy - agreed that everything
Clinton has said in public were lies.

So, these statements are not internally consistent. We know what Comey said about her statement to the FBI (not as clear-cut as she wants to make it) and we know what he said to Rep Gowdy.

Conclusion: Once again a bald-faced lie.

Is this like George Romney being “brainwashed”???

Trump and PACs need to get Shrillary “short circuited” remark in attack ads everywhere asap.

Damn biased media did in George Romney with that one word..... let’s see what can be done with “short circuited”....

[Jonah Hex]

Was that an AC or DC short?

[FamiliarFace]

Yes, but I would have loved to hear her elaborate. Did she just stop and the media let her get away with it (probable), or did she “clarify” and it muddied the water further, so they didn’t report it (also probable)? Stupid media. Can’t stand them.

[Cboldt]

The short version is that when Hillary says "short circuit," she isn;t admitting that there any malfunction in her brain. She assumed it obvious that what she told the FBI and what she told the public were the same thing. This is a big lie that can't be checked - the FBI won't disclose what she told them.

[apillar]

If she wins election, get ready for 4 to 8 years of this Clintonian nonsense.

I honestly think with her history of strokes and other health problems, and with all the stress of the presidency, with six months she will be quietly "removed" from any real duties or decision making, and the country will be run by a group of staffers who roll her out in closely scripted short public appearances to keep the illusion she is in charge. That may very well be why the Obama wing of the party is fully supporting her even though they hate the Clintons, they figure they will be back in charge in all but name in a few months after her reelection.

OMG!!! Where in the world is Trump’s response team???!!!
Killary is giving tons of ammunition and where are Trump’s guns to fire away at her???

“Short Circuit”?

Hillary Rotten Criminal needs to be short circuited with some 220 VAC. Call it ‘shock therapy’.

She's saving that for October.

I’ve heard some random talk and rumor (which is worth whatever you want to assign to it) that the insidious plan of the ‘RATS (meaning the federal fascist Obama regime) is to get Hiliarly elected, and then she suffers a terrible health ‘setback’ which means that Tim Kaine becomes President which believe it or not, could be even worse than Clinton.

When Kaine was being considered as Obama’s VP in 2008, Kaine himself told the Obama VP team “If I were Obama, I wouldn’t pick me, because I’m too much like him, we agree on virtually everything”, now if THAT isn’t a bone chilling revelation, I don’t know what is.
