‘You’ve Had Her Back’: Clinton Camp Puts Out Online Video on FBI Announcement

The Hillary Clinton camaign posted a defiant online video directed at its supporters earlier today in response to the FBI’s bombshell announcement just two days ago.

The video stars Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon recapping the “vague” letter and saying this entire thing is overblown. He emphasizes that the case has not been “reopened” and that all of these emails might be duplicates.

He says, “”You’re probably just as puzzled and outraged as we are.”

Yesterday, FBI Director Comey bowed to partisan pressure and released a vague and inappropriate letter to Congress. What you need to know: pic.twitter.com/E5Q8Mgp0h0

Something worth noting here is that Fallon somewhat effortlessly pivots to attacking Republicans for making the emails an issue, even invoking those now-infamous comments from Kevin McCarthy connecting the Benghazi committee and her poll numbers.

He concludes, “They’ve failed every time because you’ve had her back. More than ever, we need your help to push back on their phony partisan attacks.”
