Odd that Hillary campaign felt the need to clarify that when she said, “that’s a no” in a press conference, she misheard the reporter’s question. She was asked whether she had told Bill Richardson that Obama couldn’t win the presidency; she thought she had been asked whether she would disclose what she told Richardson.
In other words, they did not want her on the record as denying that she told Richardson Obama couldn’t win.
1) Isn’t this more or less a confirmation that she did say that? If her statement was accurate, why put out a correction?
2) Why would her staff feel the need to retract this denial? Was there some audio or video recording that would directly contradict her statement? Something beyond Richardson’s word, obviously…
Or is it after the “sniper fire” item, she can’t afford being caught in another lie?
