Sanders: ‘I Would Hope My Surrogates Do Not Focus’ on Clinton’s E-mail Scandal

‘There are a lot of people who say, “Bernie, why don’t you go after her on her FBI investigation?” ... We have chosen not to do that’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Now, when it comes to the FBI investigation, are you trying to have it both ways? You don’t make any accusations against her, but one of your highest-profile surrogates does?”
SANDERS: “Hey, Jake, Jake, we have dozens of surrogates, and Rosario is doing a great job for us. She was with me in the South Bronx when we had 18,000 people coming out to start our campaign in New York. We have many, many surrogates who say many, many things. Many of these surrogates do not agree with everything I say. And I do not agree with every approach and everything that they say. And that’s the simple reality.

“What we have done — and, by the way, there are a lot of people who say, Bernie, why don’t you go after her on her FBI investigation? Why don’t you go after her on the Clinton Foundation money? We have chosen not to do that.
