Sanders: Clinton flip-flops a “character issue”

[SillyAmerican]

Bernie Sanders seems to have revised his opinion of Hillary Clinton's email server.

October 13th:  "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails."
November 4th: "You get 12 seconds to say these things. There’s an investigation going on right now. I did not say, 'End the investigation.' That’s silly."

Thoughts?

He said he was sick and tired of hearing about the emails. He didn't say the FBI/DOJ investigation should end.

I just wish politicians of all stripes would get it in their heads that the proper response to a question about anything related to an ongoing investigation is "I'm sorry, but due to the fact that there's an ongoing investigation on that subject, I won't comment at this time." Simple, right? But democrats can't seem to do it, republicans can't seem to do it, heck, the sitting president can't seem to do it. My objection is not to the change in Mr. Sanders' response, my objection is that he (and many others) feel the need to play politics with what I believe to be a very serious matter: those damn emails.

That's the right response for someone who is involved in the investigation which Sanders is not.

I disagree. I believe that's the correct response for anyone either in or running for public office. Any other response indicates that you've already made a decision with regard to what the investigation is all about, how it should proceed, or what conclusions it should reach. How is doing that a good idea?
