Clinton acknowledged that she had misspoken in two recent media interviews when she claimed that FBI Director James B. Comey had characterized as "truthful" all of her public statements about her use of a private email server.

She explained that Comey was referring only to her interviews with the FBI — but she also insisted that all of her other public statements on the matter have been consistent with those interviews.

“I may have short-circuited, and I will try to clarify,” Clinton told reporters Friday at a convention of black and Hispanic journalists in Washington.

The Pinocchio Test

As we have seen repeatedly in Clinton’s explanations of the email controversy, she relies on excessively technical and legalistic answers to explain her actions. While Comey did say there was no evidence she lied to the FBI, that is not the same as saying she told the truth to the American public — which was the point of Wallace’s question. Comey has repeatedly not taken a stand on her public statements.

And although Comey did say many emails were retroactively classified, he also said that there were some emails that were already classified that should not have been sent on an unclassified, private server. That’s the uncomfortable truth that Clinton has trouble admitting.

We're teaching our kids the wrong things. Apparently honesty, ethics, integrity, morality, and concern/caring for your fellow humans aren't the path to success. Unscrupulous behavior and the willingness to stoop to any lie or unethical/immoral act is the way to success obviously.
