Hillary Clinton on Friday (click here) acknowledged that she had misspoken in two recent media interviews when she claimed that FBI Director James Comey had characterized as "truthful" all of her public statements about her controversial use of a private email server as secretary of state.
Clinton 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.

So, Hillary Clinton decided to address any misspeak about the Comey testimony. Anyone really listen to the Comey testimony?
Director Comey's testimony was over four long. There is a sound bite in it for everyone.
The supposedly misspoken issues that Hillary Clinton faces are understandable. YES, UNDERSTANDABLE. Director Comey states there were classified (c) content within three emails. THREE EMAILS. Three emails out of tens of thousands. I think she has the right to misspeak when the media is being very obscure to their own demands for an answer.
Director Comey's words are used inaccurately. There are content of three emails. NOT EVEN THE ENTIRE EMAIL. Content within three emails marked as "c."
Enough.
