Democratic Congressman Busts Fox News For Editing Video Of FBI Clinton Email Comments

Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) took apart Fox News for editing video and leaving out key comments while trying to smear Hillary Clinton during an interview on Fox News Sunday.
Democratic Congressman Busts Fox News For Editing Video Of FBI Clinton Email Comments

.............

Transcript via Fox News Sunday:


.............(END VIDEO CLIP)

WALLACE: Congressman, Comey directly contradicted what Clinton had been telling the American people for a year.

BECERRA: But, Chris, what you don’t also show is that Director Comey said that she had no knowledge of some of those so-called classified e-mail because they were not either not marked or they were not classified at the time or incorrectly marked. So, he did come out and said — you don’t show that, but he did come out and say she did not know.

WALLACE: They were marked and more importantly, he said that there was classified material that she had e-mailed.

BECERRA: But she did not know it. Otherwise, if there had been the intention to send classified e-mails, then FBI would have pursued this much further. So I think you’re trying to make more of this than there is.

He has a way of delivering his message that is clear and concise like few others. I hope Hillary has a position for him somewhere.

WALLACE: They were marked and more importantly, he said that there was classified material that she had e-mailed....what an idiot they were not marked correctly.two of the three e-mails was not classified and I bet the third e-mail will not be considered classified either because the State Department did not have the third e-mail to check it.
