To hear one of Hillary Clinton's top campaign spokesmen tell it Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey's testimony last week in which he laid out his decision to not recommend charges against the former secretary of state in the email investigation was a positive jolt that has yet to fully boost the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Predicting that the effort by the Republican chairman of two congressional committees to have the Justice Department investigate Clinton for perjury over her testimony before the Benghazi Committee last October would fall flat, press secretary Brian Fallon told CNN's "New Day" that what Clinton told her Justice Department interviewers "is consistent with what she has said all along."
"Look, I think there's no question that in reaction to the press conference that Director Comey held a week ago today that some questions were raised. There seem to be apparent contradictions between what Director Comey laid out on Tuesday and what Secretary Clinton has long said," Fallon acknowledged to host Chris Cuomo. "But then you have to account for what he said at his hearing on Thursday, where he expanded and contextualized a lot of his comments."
