Capeheart: ‘Shouldn’t Surprise Anyone’ Hillary Allies ‘Reflexively’ Defending Her

CAPEHART: “I know one of the two reporters on this story and Joe Becker is a solid reporter. Seeing her name in the byline made me pay extra attention to it, because she's such a solid reporter. But it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Clinton team and Clinton supporters would reflexively go out and defend them. They have been doing it for 20 something years. And also the other problem that we have here is we're talking about a book that has yet to be released; it doesn't come out until May 5. We're talking about a huge story that just hit, what, 45 minutes ago ... So I haven't read it yet. You're reading it in between bits and pieces of the conversation. So there is a bit of a fact or information void that is here and that allows all of us to talk about all of these things without knowing exactly what is there. And then the other problem here is in the absence of facts and the absence of information, we also have nothing but denials and reflexive push back from the Clinton camp. And so maybe a month from now or two months from now, candidate Clinton will step forward and talk about in detail of all of these stories and all of the dealings. But until then, we'll have a lot of these cotton candy arguments.”
