From that link:

“sources at the State Department,” a vague and anonymous reference that does not yield to verification.

Anonymous sources are unreliable? That seems important to remember...

It's exceedingly unlikely that a State insider would talk to TruePundit, which was virtually unknown before this story, instead of WaPo, or Fox News if they really had an axe to grind.

The WSJ has a record of having anonymous sources whose stories pan out. TruePundit not so much.

Check out the non-denial denial video by Hillary at the end. First "I don't recall" followed by "if it did happen, it was a joke".

Why wouldn't she simply deny it if it wasn't true?
