Hillary Used Her New Snapchat Account to Joke About Email Scandal
Hillary Clinton joined in the cholesterol-fueled fun at the Iowa State Fair Saturday, eating a pork chop on a stick and sipping some lemonade.
He also called the campaign system “corrupt” and vowed that, if elected, his Supreme Court nominee would have to promise to overturn Citizens United, a ruling that allowed unlimited amounts of money to be poured into elections.
“I won’t play politics with national security”, Clinton said at the annual Wing Ding, a Democratic fundraiser in northern Iowa that attracted three other presidential candidates.
A big chunk of the audience of 2,100 cheered, but many did not. “This is not about me – they have also confirmed that”. “We’re not taking care of our trade deals”, Trump said.
Guest speakers were former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sen. And, she says, many more emails were deleted long ago.
“They are going to start paying their fair share of taxes”, Sanders said to cheers.
Clinton loyalists dismissed the email matter as partisan or media-driven. Her doctors recommend medical marijuana to ease the pain, but it’s hard to get because it’s illegal to sell in Iowa. Clinton was squired through the fair by Tom Harkin, the state’s former senator who is popular among the liberals that she is struggling to attract to her campaign. For sixteen minutes as he delivered his classically unscripted stump speech, of insults at rivals and warped foreign policy (“Iraqi officials are a bunch of crooks”) they stood ramrod straight behind him in the sweltering, burning heat.
There was one notable stop Clinton didn’t make at the fair: the soapbox. “Obviously these years later it doesn’t look so convenient”. While she’s attended town hall meetings, attendees are often vetted before entering.
Others aren’t. And people are noticing.
“I could be a real asset to his team”, she said.
Clinton went on to say that recent events have been all about politics, not her emails, saying that her testimony before Congress was proof of her commitment to transparency.
Later, Clinton went after Republicans, who continue to probe the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Clinton responded by asking questions about existing state and federal programs for beginning farmers.
Clinton’s comments came after she turned over her personal server and her lawyer handed in a thumb drive with emails that she had already submitted to the State Department.
“I think it’s scary,”she said when she was asked what she made of the scene”.
First was Clinton. A dynasty candidate criticized for being aloof, she tried to ingratiate herself with everyday Iowans.
“The facts are the same as they have been from the very beginning”, she said.
There’s nothing on the server, which has been sitting in a warehouse in New Jersey since 2013. I’ve even offered to answer questions for months before Congress. I’ve just provided my server to the Justice Department. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, have noted the emails were not marked as classified when they were sent to the secretary of state. “Classified information has reportedly been found on the private server in her [Hillary Clinton’s] home”.
Activists like Lisa Brighton of Mason City, Iowa, welcomed Clinton’s defense.
