How come no reporters give Clinton the benefit of the doubt?

Since there were NO e-mails that were marked properly with headers, and only 3 that were marked at all (with little (c)'s buried in the text... which Comey agreed anyone might miss), why is it not a possibility that she genuinely did not think that any "classified" e-mails had been received?

Why would she lie, for crying out loud, when she knew the FBI was looking at them?

What's wrong with the system when the positive interpretation is verboten?

My guess is that it is a cross between repug owned media corporations, and misogyny.

and he still has it.

If the Republicans had not tried to milk the moment, we would never have known exactly how deceptive and equivocal Comey was when he made his statement.
