Hillary Clinton received "Pants on fire" and four out of five Pinocchio truthfulness ratings from the Politifact and the Washington Post, respectively, after she claimed this week that the FBI found no fault with her accounting of her e-mail practices:

Washington Post:

As we have seen repeatedly in Clinton’s explanations of the email controversy, she relies on excessively technical and legalistic answers to explain her actions. While Comey did say there was no evidence she lied to the FBI, that is not the same as saying she told the truth to the American public — which was the point of Wallace’s question. Comey has repeatedly not taken a stand on her public statements.

And although Comey did say many emails were retroactively classified, he also said that there were some emails that were already classified that should not have been sent on an unclassified, private server. That’s the uncomfortable truth that Clinton has trouble admitting.

REMINDER: CRITICISM OF HILLARY CLINTON FOR SHITTY THINGS SHE DOES ≠ SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP.

It would be helpful to the progressive cause across the country—and the cause of defeating Donald Trump—if Hillary Clinton, who polls show is distrusted by millions of voters, stopped lying—and if her supporters and allies didn't undermine their own credibility by minimizing or excusing it.
