Come ON! You won't believe Hillary campaign manager's defense of 'quid pro quo' offer (or maybe you will)

With the release of an FBI report alleging that Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy asked the FBI to reclassify a Hillary Clinton email in return for a “quid pro quo,” you knew Team Hillary would start spinning quickly.

Is this supposed to be a defense? https://t.co/fxtCcHuasr

Apparently so:

Mook doesn't comment on latest FBI interview report with 'quid pro quo' request, other than saying it "happened entirely w/in the gov"

Mook on allegation of FBI quid pro quo attempt: "Something that took place entirely within the government."

And in ONE sentence, Robby Mook just admitted government corruptionhttps://t.co/wzbGEVtxsr

Mook’s so helpful.

"It happened entirely within government, so no harm no foul."

So criminal conduct is ok if it occurs within the government? 🙂

So is he saying that when people WITHIN the government bribe the FBI that means that it is not illegal? https://t.co/pwym244egi
