Hillary Clinton's post-convention bounce runs into a familiar wall: Emails
LA Times ^ | aug. 5, 2016 | Michael A. Memoli and Kurtis Lee

But instead of capitalizing on the momentum, she tripped up again on her political Achilles’ heel — emails — before an audience she has kept at arm’s length over the last 16 months — journalists.

Speaking at a gathering of black and Latino reporters and editors in Washington, Clinton struggled to reconcile her previous public statements about the handling of sensitive information over a private email server with the critical assessment offered by the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This must mean a black or hispanic reporter asked her a tough question. AND reported it.

There’s hope :)

““What we have here is pretty much what I have been saying throughout this whole year. And that is, that I never sent or received anything that was marked classified,” she said again Friday.”

Sure, the classified markings were removed when the material was taken off the classified system and put onto an unclassified one. That does not change the classification of the content, which was on a classified server and marked classified for a reason.

Maybe she should require all questions to be emailed to her, so that she can delete those that she doesn’t want to answer.

I hope Team Trump has some juicy new revelations to drop on her in the first debate. Something she doesn’t think they know....just watching her try to think her way out of it on live tv with no net (unless she has a secret earpiece..which is possible).

Hillary:
"But I do think, you know having him say that my answers to the FBI were truthful, and then I should quickly add, what I said was consistent with what I had said publicly.."
The FBI said what you said publicly was a lie. So either your answers were a lie or they were not consistent with your public statements. You can't have it both ways.

Trump and surrogates need to keep up the pressure on her inability to not lie on this.

“she tripped up again on her political Achilles’ heel”

Poor way of putting it as it implies that she could have sidestepped her email issue. More accurately, she tripped when she mishandled classified information and lied about it. Putting it that way, we see that she trips over her own dishonesty.

I saw it - it seemed like the question was put in hopes she would be able to say it's a done deal and nothing to worry about - she ended up digging a hole as she piled on the old manure about how Comey said she was responding honestly and there were "only a tine number of classifies that were h so easy to overlook...yadda yadda yadda....

I would guess that the Latino cub reporter may be looking for another job because she didn't throw out the question of the day, "Do you take us minority voters for granted?"....

Hillary’s dead-cat bounce after the convention, what a joke that is. The media is resorting to The Big Lie in reporting that she’s anywhere near Trump and even leading in some key states because it’s all they got.

All they have to do is tell a couple of truths about her charity scam.

She would get fired

She probably will get fired for that question backfiring.

I should have known it was a softball and she blew it.

Good.
