Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager is blaming a “right wing” group for the Democratic frontrunner’s email troubles. Robbie Mook made the claim of the right wing conspiracy in an interview this afternoon on CNN.
Watch here:
“Robbie,” said CNN’s Jake Tapper, “I want to ask you about the news just now of a new development in the e-mail case, a judge in D.C. opening the door to future subpoenas for Clinton, for her longtime aide, Huma Abedin, looking to get ahold of personal e-mails that were not turned over to the State Department. Do you have any response to this news?”
“Well, Jake, we all know that the right wing sees Hillary Clinton as the Democrats’ best chance to hold on to the White House and continue to build on the progress that President Obama has made. That’s why this right wing group filed this lawsuit,” Mook said, singling out, but not naming, Judicial Watch. “Of course, they’re trying to subpoena people, of course they’re trying to get this into the news. And we’re just –”
“But Robbie,” Tapper interrupted, “this judge was appointed by Bill Clinton, I believe.”
“Well, it’s the judge’s decision to make. My point is that this is promulgated by a right wing group. Our campaign is accustomed to right wing attacks and they’re going to continue,” said Mook.
