Hillary Clinton evaded a direct question from George Stephanopoulos this morning on ABC’s “This Week.” It was about whether she has been contacted by the FBI.
HRC obliquely answers a ? about the FBI on ABC by saying she has not been "asked to come in" for an intv. The ? was has she been contacted.

“Obliquely answers” = dodges. Here is the portion of the transcript where she is asked about being contacted by the FBI:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Have you had any contact yet with the FBI, you or your agents, over this matter?
CLINTON: I — I have not been asked to come in for an interview. I’ve said I am more than willing since last August and I would like to do that sooner instead of later and get this matter wrapped up and behind us.
This is the 2nd time HRC has done this. On MS this wk she said "we do not have an interview scheduled" to similar ?. https://t.co/dWZ10Am71m

At times, you’d almost think she is trying to look guilty. CNN’s Dan Merica went on to chide her campaign for lack of access and her not answering questions from reporters covering her.
This explanation for Clinton's lack of press access to her traveling press corps is flatly not true. https://t.co/nnpNK5OBTH

"She will literally stand there for 15, 20 min & answer ?s from her traveling press." Nope. Last gaggle was 2 min. https://t.co/AZfz9JvQsP

That is unacceptable for any legitimate presidential candidate.
