Even Chris Matthews (much subdued) mentioned that several times on tonight’s show.
I think she's running the Saul Alinsky strategy, which is that you just say what you want to say. If you can make a point - however lame - by saying that the Republicans got a heads-up from Comey but the Democrats were excluded, you do it. It doesn't matter if your lie is exposed within five minutes.
Her target here is her voting base of Low-Information Voters, hard-core leftists and communists, union activists and government workers. She needs to give them something to keep their spirits up and to tell their friends and family members to try to take the venom out of today's disclosures.
This is serious, folks. This has hurt her. She's saying anything she can to deflect and diminish the blow.
Alinsky would have counseled her to do whatever it takes to accomplish that, and if she has to tell bald-faced lies to create an advantage - even an illusory advantage - she is going to do it.
