Clinton fact-checked on 'truthful' claim in email scandal


Hillary Clinton is getting hammered for saying on “Fox News Sunday” that FBI Director James Comey confirmed her statements on her email scandal were “truthful” – with one prominent fact-checker giving the claim four “Pinocchios.”

The former secretary of state cited Comey when asked to account for her repeated claims that she never sent or received material marked classified on her personal email account. When host Chris Wallace noted that Comey said those things were not true, Clinton disagreed.

“That's not what I heard Director Comey say … Director Comey said that my answers were truthful and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails,” she said.

The Washington Post Fact Checker picked apart that statement, ultimately giving it four “Pinocchios,” its worst rating for truthfulness.

Pretty bad when the Washington Post givers her the worst rating. Fodder for Trump's ads! This bim needs to be in jail!

Not surprising that Clinton lies. She opens her mouth and out comes a barrage of lies. She's incapable of telling the truth. Criminals like her are funny that way. Prison is the only 'big house' she should inhabit. 6X6 cell would do her just fine!

She obviously is doing this from memory, not from looking at Comey's testimony during the congressional hearing.
This goes beyond lying. She's sick.
