Washington Post fact-checker gave Clinton the worst possible score for lying about the FBI's position on her classified email scandal
The FBI director, Clinton claimed Sunday, 'said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people'
But in a congressional hearing last month, the FBI director said multiple times that she had lied to the public and the press
Clinton ultimately blamed the career professionals at the State Department for sending classified documents to her private, unsecured email address
That address, though, was the only one she had while she was secretary of state
