Hillary Clinton Defends Her Email Use As Secretary of State

When Fox News’ Ed Henry followed up his questioning, Clinton replied, “Ed, you’re not listening to me”, and repeated her explanation of the review process.

“There’s nothing to worry about”, she said.

“What – like with a cloth or something?” she joked, before saying she didn’t “know how it works digitally at all“. “I don’t know how it works at all“.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner for president in 2016, does not like what she is reading in the national media about her email scandal. On Monday, the State Department said it had flagged 305 emails, out of the 20 percent it has reviewed, as potentially containing classified information.

Clinton said in March that she had exchanged about 60,000 emails during her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were personal and deleted.

For her part, Clinton said she did not use that email account to send or receive anything marked classified.

Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, David Kendall said the server was transferred to the FBI on August 12 by Platte River Networks, a Denver firm hired by Clinton to oversee the device. Clinton seems not to grasp that simply because she is not being charged with anything doesn’t mean that this whole set-up doesn’t look bad and raise doubts about her among voters. “We turned over everything that was work-related, every single thing”.

Interviewed by John Heilemann on today’s With All Due Respect, Jennifer Palmieri-Communications Director for Hillary’s campaign-insisted that finding that the server was thoroughly scrubbed is “the outcome they [the FBI] want“.

Officials have said that the probe is preliminary and that Clinton is not a target.

Clinton’s problems began in December 2014, when the State Department asked recent former secretaries of state to hand over documents that would help bolster its record keeping. “My personal emails are my personal business, right?”

According to reports, the FBI, which has possession of Clinton’s server, believes there was an attempt to wipe it clean of data, but missing messages can be recovered.

Clinton’s emails show some messages she wrote were censored by the State Department for national security reasons before they were publicly released.

“They’d have to show that she was responsible for having the information on that server and essentially knew what was on there”, Mukasey said.

As the investigation continues the question of whether Clinton could face indictment or legal charges surfaces. “That’s for the people investigating it to try to figure out”.

“I’ve been thinking about the fact that I get a lot of attention because I had a personal email account, as did other high-ranking officials in the State Department and elsewhere in the government”.
