CNN Panel Blasts Clinton On Her Email Scandal And Trust Issues

A CNN panel Sunday put Hillary Clinton on blast as they discussed her email scandal and trust issues that loom over her presidential campaign.

Prior to the panel’s discussion, CNN’s John King recapped the last week of Clinton trying to put her email scandal to rest by playing a couple of clips of Clinton responding to questions regarding her honesty in cooperating with the FBI and telling the truth to the American people.

Last Sunday, she told Fox News host Chris Wallace that FBI Director Jim Comey said that her answers on the email scandal were “truthful.” Following this interview, the Washington Post‘s Fact Checker, Glenn Kessler, gave her “Four Pinocchios” on this statement, its worst rating for dishonesty.

Clinton then admitted on Friday at an address to the National Association of Black and Hispanic Journalists that she may have “short-circuited” in her previous responses regarding questions on the email scandal and that she would clarify in the future.

After playing the clips, King signaled the panel to help him analyze Clinton’s statements.

“Help me. Help me,” King joked.

"...she would clarify in the future." It's a euphemism for "how the hell do I talk my way out of this one."
Face it. She's damaged.

If this person were coming before me for a job interview, she'd be quickly eliminated from the candidate pool. If she was the only candidate, I'd fire somebody in HR.

Oh no!
She told a Pinochio?

What angers me is she will not give you a direct answer to any question you ask her. No simple yes or no. Last night on the news, a reported asked her, will you be raising taxes on middle class workers making under 250K per year. She deflected the question. I took this as a yes.
