A joint Mook-Podesta conference call on a Saturday is a sure sign of how serious the Clinton campaign sees this FBI story…

The Clinton campaign’s John Podesta and Robby Mook had a conference call with reporters following the FBI director’s letter to Congress yesterday to let everybody know there’s “nothing to see here”:
Podesta says on call that Comey letter was "Long on innuendo and short on facts"

Podesta on Comey: "By providing selective information, he’s allowed partisans to distort & exaggerate to inflict maximum political damage"
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) October 29, 2016
Podesta spinning: “No indication that this is even about Hillary”
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) October 29, 2016
Podesta: "We’re calling on him to come forward and give those answers to the American public"
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) October 29, 2016
Podesta: “There’s absolutely nothing that [Huma's] done that we think calls into question anything that she’s done…we stand behind her”
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) October 29, 2016
Podesta: "We are not charging him with anything other than taking an unprecedented step for which he owes the American public an explanation

During an address to the media yesterday after Comey’s letter to Congress was reported, Hillary Clinton claimed it was sent only to Republicans members of Congress, which is false. Here’s Podesta’s attempt to spin Hillary out of a lie:
Podesta on Clinton saying letter was sent only to GOP: “I think she had seen the front page of the letter”

Last night, @HillaryClinton said Comey sent letter to GOP members. Podesta now say they had only seen 1st page of letter and Dems were cc'd

Because Hillary would have never lied, right? In his endorsement of Hillary, former CIA Director Mike Morell called Clinton prepared and “detail-oriented.” So much for that.
pretty pathetic excuse

They should have known such letters typically addressed to committee Chairmen w/ other committee members Cc'd.

Documents with the letter “C” in them seem to confuse Hillary.
