Hillary Clinton artfully dodged a question Tuesday about whether the FBI had contacted her over its investigation into her private email server, telling MSNBC that she did not have an interview "scheduled."

Phoning in to speak with host Chris Hayes, Clinton again insisted that the State Department Inspector General report that slammed her email conduct showed the practice was done by other secretaries of state. Rule changes have rendered this talking point moot, and the IG report demonstrated repeated contradictions with Clinton's claims that what she did was permitted.

Hayes noted Donald Trump and other Republicans had "invoked the specter of the FBI quite often."

"I need to ask you if you have been contacted by the FBI about an interview regarding the email situation," Hayes said.

"No, we do not have an interview scheduled," Clinton said. "I just want to say a word about the recent report. You know, actually the report makes clear that personal email use was a practice under other secretaries of state, and the rules were not clarified until after I had left. But as I've said many times, Chris, it was still a mistake. If I could go back, I would do it differently."

She added that she understood voters had "concerns" but hoped they would look at the whole picture of her career.
