While Hillary Clinton has not agreed to interviews with recordable Fox News journalists (and two-time debate moderators) Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly or Chris Wallace, the Democratic presidential candidate called in to MSNBC on Sunday night for an interview with disgraced former NBC Nightly News anchor and current MSNBC breaking news anchor Brian Williams. 

Needless to say, Williams and co-moderator Rachel Maddow allowed Clinton to emerge unscathed with only one mention of her e-mail scandal plus the final question wondering “[h]ow optimistic” about Iowa and New Hampshire she is and if she’s “budgeted” enough sleep “for tonight into tomorrow.”
