I'm confused. I don't any reference to the Atlantic in Fisher's WaPo
article. Fisher provides no links but I think it is clear that he is
talking about this document:

This is just a difference in strategy. I think we need to be careful
not to over react lest we squander or credibility before they make
the big push.

Not only was it part of the record, she herself has never publicly
retracted it. We only get this story that she misheard the question
from a 3rd party. Now I'm not a lawyer but I believe that a statement
made under oath stands until it is retracted under oath.

As Patry pointed out, what she said was "When an individual makes a
copy *for himself*." which doesn't sound like she misheard the question.
