      Four days later, I published my report on how Clinton White House records did not back up Hillary Clinton's account.https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/how-the-clinton-white-house-handled-doma-in-1996-in-their-ow?utm_term=.mydmXWmBR#.rnlV87VLN …

      The discussions in the hacked emails published by Wikileaks show the campaign knew she was wrong and were offered a solution. They said no.

      For ~years~, I asked the Clintons' folks to let me sit down for an interview with Bill Clinton about LGBT issues. They always said no.

      In all of these instances, I think being open and having discussions, rather than "stay[ing] down," would've been helpful for all involved.

      A distinction would be the response to the Nancy Reagan/AIDS comments. There, they were quick, communication, and had discussions.

      As a journalist (& lawyer & person who has worked in gov't), I don't expect leaders to be perfect. I do, however, expect openness & answers.

          Given restrictions laid out about Clinton being unwilling to disavow her DOMA comment, her team's draft response comment is ... rough:pic.twitter.com/n5ChnnZVSG

          The Clinton camp eventually went w the "whatever the context" language when they did respond to Huff Po: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-doma_us_562e7dcae4b0c66bae58eb2e …pic.twitter.com/4iZgnqlDdo
