'Clinton Is Cherry-Picking': WaPo Fact-Checks Hillary's 'FNS' Interview
In an exclusive interview with "Fox News Sunday," Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton addressed the controversy surrounding her private email server.
Clinton claimed that she "relied on the judgment of professionals" and "her answers were truthful" during the FBI's investigation, but The Washington Post isn't buying it.
Giving her "Four Pinocchios" - meaning she told some "whoppers" - the Post's Glenn Kessler wrote, "Clinton is cherry-picking statements by [FBI Director James] Comey to preserve her narrative about the unusual setup of a private email server. This allows her to skate past the more disturbing findings of the FBI investigation."
He explained that she relies on excessively technical and legalistic answers to explain her actions.
While Comey said there was no evidence that Clinton lied to the FBI, that is not the same as saying she told the truth to the American public, Kessler wrote.
