For someone aspiring to the Presidency, with such extensive experience in diplomacy and remaining calm in a crisis, her verbal and non-verbal response showed a great deal of anger, frustration and... well, fear.

In the olden days, there was an adage for newsmakers: "Every camera is live. Every microphone is hot."
Following the "47 percent" episode with Mittens in the 2008 campaign, she should know that everybody has a smart phone and knows how to record video/audio and upload it to social media.

And I would add one more question: "When can we expect to see the Goldman Sachs meeting transcript?"
