Former Clinton staffer Jennifer Palmieri writes in a new book, Dear Madam President, that the campaign was “foolish” not to mount a louder and longer defense of her government email troubles in its last weeks, the Washington Post reports.

“Clinton herself had a gut feeling that she should be addressing the issue more forcefully in those closing days in 2016, but her campaign staff urged a strategy that would show her tackling policy questions that would matter if she won the White House.”

Writes Palmieri: “It was a mistake, although at the time it was hard to accept that telling Hillary to keep bringing up the emails herself could possibly be the right advice. But I should have seen that, as unappealing as addressing the issue was, it was what voters needed to hear from Hillary at that moment. She got that.”
