Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway naturally took to the cable news airwaves on Friday afternoon to comment on the bombshell news concerning new details the FBI will investigate regarding Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server and on MSNBC, she was pressured to withdraw her candidate’s insistence that the “system” is rigged to benefit Clinton.

Upon playing a clip of Trump commenting on the investigation’s revamping so to speak, host Steve Kornacki pointed out to Conway that Trump stated Thursday night on Fox News that not only is the system rigged, but “I think the biggest rigging of all is what happened with the FBI and the Justice Department with respect to Hillary Clinton.”

Kornacki then asked Conway if she would be “rescinding that criticism of the Justice Department” to which she exclaimed her boss would not and “why would he do that” because “we only know what you know about the FBI's investigation” and “what Donald Trump said last night and today is a sentiment shared by millions and millions of Americans.”

With that answer not satisfactory to him, the 4:00 p.m. Eastern MSNBC Live host hit back to further illustrate the classic play in politics of deflecting and turning something back on the other party:

But Kellyanne, what I’m asking you is those criticisms of the FBI, those attacks that are talking about now, you say are coming from the Clinton side. They were coming for the past few months from the Trump side, from Donald Trump himself, from Donald Trump supporters....[H]e has been saying that the skids were basically greased to exonerate Hillary Clinton. I’m asking you, now that the FBI is taking this step, do you still feel, is it still the position of the Trump campaign that they are greased to protect Hillary Clinton?

The next question pertained to Mike Pence’s insistence that any and all e-mails related to the investigation be released before Election Day, but the final one played out like first two in trying to muddy the waters on this otherwise horrible day for the Clinton campaign by wondering if early voting has already mitigated any gained advantage from this news from Trump.

“The fact is, though, before any of this came out this afternoon, nearly 20 million votes had already been cast in this election because of early voting. Do you think that that numbs the effect — any potential positive effect what you’re talking about here,” Kornacki wondered.

Conway responded that she doesn’t think the millions of early votes have scuttled any downturn in votes for Hillary and bump in Trump voting: because “[w]e respect the fact that people have cast their votes, but we also like what we’re seeing in our early returns.”
