Andrea Mitchell Laments: Every E-mail Release Another ‘Setback’ for Clinton

MITCHELL: “Joining me now for ‘The Daily Fix,’ Ruth Marcus and Huffington post political editor Sam Stein. Ruth Marcus, first to you, where do we stand? The e-mails come out later today. Each time this comes, it is a setback for her efforts to talk about policy.”

MARCUS: “Well, I think it's a self-inflicted wound and it's also a wound that Republicans are very happy to help her inflict on herself. And, you know, I'm reminded of Michael Kingsley's famous definition of a gaffe in Washington, saying the truth out loud. Shocked that the Benghazi committee might have had something to do with politics and the political aspirations of the former Secretary of State, but dumb thing to say. I actually share Senator McCaskill's desire to talk a little bit about some substance in this campaign, because there's a lot of substantive things to talk about, but it's getting, it's really hard to stop talking about e-mails when facts keep emerging and e-mails keep getting released.”

MITCHELL: “And Sam stein, how does Hillary Clinton ever get out from under this? And what are you hearing about Joe Biden?”
