Sanders does about-face on Clinton's private email controversy

Sen. Bernie Sanders is shifting away from comments he made about Hillary Clinton's personal email account at the first Democratic presidential debate when he said voters are "sick and tired" hearing about her "damn emails."

"You get 12 seconds to say these things," he said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal about his original comments at the Oct. 13 debate.

But Sanders indicated in the interview that he didn't intend to give Clinton a free pass.

"There's an investigation going on right now. I did not say, 'End the investigation.' That's silly....Let the investigation proceed unimpeded," he said. .............
