Clinton Adviser Goes Silent When Wolf Blitzer Mentions Prospect of 'Full-Scale Interview' With Hillary

Senior Clinton adviser Joel Benenson ran out the clock in a CNN interview Wednesday when host Wolf Blitzer joked about Hillary’s avoidance of the press.

"We’ll stay in close touch with you, thanks very much for joining us," Wolf said, eliciting a thank you from Benenson. "And please tell the secretary we’re looking forward to a full-scale interview with her ASAP as well," Wolf deadpanned.

Benenson smiled benignly but did not respond. Eventually Blitzer moved on to the next segment.
