Clinton Email Scandal Scandal Continues
At Tuesday’s town hall in Las Vegas, Fox News’ Ed Henry asked Hillary Clinton whether she wiped out information on her email server. What with like a cloth or something.
She added later that she didn’t know “how it works digitally at all“.
“That has nothing to do with me”, she said.
“In retrospect, this didn’t turn out to be convenient at all and I regret that this has become such a cause celebre”, she said. “It’s the process by which the government-and sometimes in disagreement between various agencies of the government-make decisions about what can and cannot be disclosed”. “What I did was legally permitted”, Clinton said.
It was stored in her home in Chappaqua in upstate New York until 2013, when she reportedly sent the server to a data center in New Jersey to be wiped of any sensitive information before handing it over to Platte River in Denver, according to The Washington Post.
A clearly agitated Hillary Clinton answered another round of questions regarding her email use Tuesday in Nevada, telling reporters the story that has followed her campaign for months “has nothing to do with me”. âThey can do whatever they want to with the server to figure out what is there and what is not there, â she said.
Ms Clinton’s emails show some messages she wrote were censored by the state department for national security reasons before they were publicly relea-sed.
For her part, Clinton said she did not use that email account to send or receive anything marked classified. As former Attorney General Michael Mukasey opined this week, Clinton may have subjected herself to criminal prosecution by keeping classified information at an unauthorized location, destroying that information or, still worse, destroying that information with the intent of impeding an investigation. She also deleted about 31,000 emails that she says were personal.
Clinton: “Well, My personal emails are my personal business, right?”
“Look, I’ve been around a long time“, Clinton told Telemundo News, a Spanish-language division of NBCUniversal.
“It’s just unfortunately a continuing, you know, drum beat that is very much in the interests of the other side of keeping alive”, she said.
“People in the intelligence community live in this hermetically sealed environment in which everything is classified and nothing ever crosses out of their world into the public”, said Miller. Clinton’s campaign has said she is not the target of the probe.
The FBI said today that they are confident that they will be able to recover at least some of the information from Clinton’s private email server even though there was an attempt to wipe it clean.
As she exited the gymnasium, a reporter asked her if the questions were an indication that the email controversy isn’t going away, and will dog her campaign into next year.
