Second, I wanted to follow up on HRC idea of doing the video. Having thought about it and talked to Craig and Maura about it - I don't think it is good idea for her to do. There aren't great answers and in many cases not her place to answer them. But I think it does make sense for her to publicly state that she never did anything at state to help a donor. Philippe has been a proponent of this. She could frame it this way: 1) very proud of Clinton foundation work. 2) think people donate to it bc they want to support good works. 3) if anyone did ever give money in hopes of influencing something State did - they are foolish bc she never did that and never would. SOS makes life and death decisions and those kinds of political considerations don't come into play. At least this way she will have taken off the table any notion that there was a quid pro quo - even if some donors may have had bad intentions. If we did this, think we should do before WJC interview airs on Monday. Which may mean that tomorrow is the last chance we have will she will be in front of the press (they wont be at fundraisers but will prob be outside them so she could take a q). What do others think?
