I don't know if I believe the story that Hatch suggested her. I think that was for public consumption.
He took alot of heat for it, so he has no real reason to bite the bullet.
To his credit, he did explain why.
I can't see any logical reason for Clinton to admit to it either, since it didn't make his base happy, or other democrats.
I think Hatch told the truth with this, he has nothing to gain and caught alot of heat for it.
