Washington (CNN) In a new memoir, former Hillary Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri says the Clinton email scandal was a like "a box we could never get out of," The Washington Post reports. "I think it was the unease people felt about Hillary's motivation as a woman seeking power that made it impossible for us to very fully put this matter to bed," Palmieri writes, according to the Post. "I have weathered a lot of political crises, but never encountered one quite like this." "It was a mistake, although at the time it was hard to accept that telling Hillary to keep bringing up the emails herself could possibly be the right advice," Palmieri writes, according to the Post. "But I should have seen that, as unappealing as addressing the issue was, it was what voters needed to hear from Hillary at that moment.
