55. Thanks -- but that's a "walkback" of what she didn't say to start with

She never said -- and in fact went out of her way to say the opposite, that she looked everywhere within the DNC for that kind of internal corruption and didn't find it.

She has NOT, however (to my knowledge, which is why I asked for corroboration) walked back anything about the joint agreement in the Fall of 2015, the one that this Feb 2016 article describes so well (and validates what Brazille said and more -- but you have to read the whole article):
