Her reasoning, which I must state that while I consider this to not be black and white I don't fully buy into, was that she was referring to not knowing about the reports Nunes saw. I don't think she was focusing on the leak bit.
Regardless of all of this, that there can be an argument over the intended statement shows that this is a subjective issue and is not a fact in any way. Her intentions are unknown to us in this instance. I wasn't one to crucify Sessions and claim there was perjury, either. When the news broke I said there could be potential perjury, and said before that I didn't know if it was or wasn't, and that is because those sorts of things can be very subjective. Just like this. Rice's answer was misleading, but was it intentionally so and was it a lie? That's a very tough thing to determine, and even tougher to prove, and definitely not a fact.
