The mystery behind whatever has been in Hillary Clinton‘s inbox is sure to follow her around forever. Perhaps she is the cause of her own discomfort, because today [August 5, 2016] Clinton admitted during a media conference that she may have “short-circuited” answers about her explanations regarding the email controversy.
“I was pointing out in both of those instances, that Director Comey had said that my answers in my FBI interview were truthful. That really is the bottom line here. What I told the FBI, which he said was truthful, is consistent with what I have said publicly. I may have short-circuited and for that I will try to clarify,” Clinton said.
Clinton then went on to remind listeners that she acknowledged many times her use of two email accounts was a mistake. Generally, the public has appreciated her taking responsibility for this aspect of the situation. However, investigators will presumably not appreciate her admitting she may have left out details and “short-circuited” her answers this entire time.
By the way things are going, the actions Clinton is choosing to take and the words she selects to justify those actions, it seems as though her strategy will stay as tip-toeing around the issue as much as possible.
