A LOT of Democrats don’t have Hillary Clinton’s back on her State Department email scandal. National Journal and CNN quoted 19 Democrats who were too busy to defend her, or just didn’t want to defend her!
Some Democrats want Clinton to be transparent. (LOL GOOD LUCK.)

3) “She’s going to have to give an answer to it” – Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT)
Some wanted to make sure everyone knew they weren’t defending Clinton.
