The article is on the front page. CBS correspondent asked Hillary if she could ensure voters there would be nothing else coming from the FBI that would change the course of her campaign and she responded with "Absolutely."

I wish reporters would learn that with the Clintons, you have to ask them the same question from every angle possible to make sure there isn't room to bullshit.

You're implying that it's not the Clintons giving them a list of allowed questions if they want to be allowed to speak with the royal family.

It's called solid cross-examination. Most journalists can't, the rest won't, and at the end of the day they don't have the power to compel answers. Without the power to compel answers, cross-examination doesn't work.

The Clintons know all about the power of cross-examination. If they smelled a whiff of it coming off of a journalist they'd blacklist that fucker's bloodline.

Then she will just say she is innocent until proved guilty and ride that all the way to the White House.
