Clinton Campaign Admits Hillary Lied In Claiming Comey Only Emailed Republicans

Campaign Manager Admits Hillary Clinton Lied In Her Claim That Only Congressional Republicans Were Notified of Reopened Investigation

The flailing Clinton campaign sent surrogates all over Sunday shows earlier in the day to try to regain control of the narrative but failed miserably. Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, admitted to Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace that Clinton herself and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were lying in their initial response to FBI director James Comey’s letter. Both Hillary Clinton and Podesta claimed in their initial response that the letter was only sent to Republicans on Capitol Hill, but after Wallace pressed Mook twice on the question the Clinton campaign manager admitted both his candidate and her campaign chair lied to the public. “Chris, if your question is whether Democratic leaders were CC’ed on that letter, the answer is absolutely yes,” Mook relented, admitting Hillary Clinton and Podesta lied when they claimed otherwise.

Meanwhile, over on CNN, State of the Union anchor Jake Tapper corrected Podesta’s inaccurate claim that Huma Abedin “cooperated” with federal law enforcement authorities. “John, she hasn’t been completely cooperative if she didn’t turn over every device that had State Department emails on them and this one computer did,” Tapper informed Podesta, who a moment earlier falsely claimed that Abedin “cooperated” with law enforcement on the investigation. Of course, the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email scandal was reopened precisely because a device was found in former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s possession during the federal grand jury investigation into Weiner’s alleged lewd communications with underage girls. Weiner is Abedin’s estranged husband, and now this development connects the Clinton Foundation, Clinton email and Huma Abedin-Anthony Weiner scandals altogether with a single thread. A former Assistant Director of the FBI confirmed on CNN over the weekend that federal law enforcement is conducting a wide-ranging criminal investigation into the Clinton Foundation. This means there are three separate but interrelated tracks on which federal authorities are investigating these matters. The web of investigations includes the reopened email case, the Foundation case, and the Weiner case. The first two directly implicate Hillary Clinton herself for sure, and the third one directly implicates a longtime Clinton ally in Weiner—and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, the longtime Hillary Clinton confidante. All of this comes as WikiLeaks continues to publish trove after trove of thousands upon thousands of pages of emails from Podesta that keep crushing the Clinton campaign in the final weeks. full story
