He can't answer coherently for the same reason trump cannot: he bases his decisions on his personal interests which are different for each situation and change as the influences change. For people with values, morals, ethics and integrity, a decision is a logical conclusion consistent with those factors. Trump uses ethics against others but never recognizes the irony of his own well documented and recent unethical behavior. Fishy is now using this technique as his own. He is no longer able to forecast the trump personal interests so he reacts with whataboutisms and HILLARY. He's not answering nor can be. He is merely reacting.

For example, today Cohen announced that he will be taking the fifth, invoking his right to remain silent and retain a lawyer. Fishy may recall that when the people in camp Hillary invoked their fifth amendment right, trump said that they must be guilty of something because innocent people don't take the fifth. Now his lawyer is taking the fifth but trump and all of the same people that jumped to that guilty conclusion in Hillary's staff's case will be cutting and pasting lectures on the history and importance of the right to remain silent. If they really believed that the only inference from silence is guilt, how do they view Cohen today? If these same logicians recognize the hypocrisy in their double standard, can they reassess Hillary's staff and admire that they were wrong then?

No. Trump and fishy and the crew of knuckle dragging morons do not apply a consistent code of conduct to actions without regard to the person. They are loyalists and they support trump despite these hypocrisies, contradictions and clear evidence fraud.
