Really, WaPo? Three Pinocchios for Bill Clinton?

for talking about the small c's in three emails?

The reporter was on CBS morning show and said that it was not the presence of the small c's; it was the topic of the emails which were classified... And who determined this?

Besides, he added, it is the whole private server thing..

I couldn't find a flaw in his reasoning. But he is absurdly strict at times. I am serious about this: I think he could easily give 3 Pinocchio to someone who said X and also to a different person who said not X because neither explained the full context. He is annoying but very useful overall. Better that he has a hair trigger for political dishonesty than that he pulls his punches. He correctly rips Trump to pieces and points out that Trump is the Huggist political liar since humans invented language (ok I get 2 Pinocchios for exaggeration)
