Axelrod: 'Fair Game' For GOP To Use FBI Comments To 'Question' Clinton

TPM reports:

David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Obama, on Tuesday said that it's fair for Republicans to use FBI Director James Comey's comment that Hillary Clinton was "careless" with classified information against the former secretary of state during the presidential campaign.

"It is fair game for Republicans to question Hillary Clinton based on the words of the FBI director," Axelrod said on CNN shortly after Comey announced that the FBI does not recommend bringing charges against Clinton.

Axelrod noted that Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer focused on what the FBI's findings show about Clinton's judgement.

"Sean Spicer took the words of the FBI director and used them as you would expect the opposition to use them and honed in on what Comey called the carelessness and recklessness and so on. That's to be expected," Axelrod said.

Hard to argue with that one.
