Warren Absent From Clinton Fundraiser With Female Senators

The State Department released a new tranche of about 5,000 emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton when she served as top U.S. diplomat and controversially used a private email server.

However, new emails released Monday contradict that claim, showing Clinton did indeed receive updates about “fresh attacks on Benghazi” on her unsecured, private email system.

“It has been ridiculous that there has never been a female president before”, one of the girls says, reading from a letter that she wrote to Clinton.

Warren has been openly critical of Clinton, criticizing the then-Senator in her book The Two Income Trap for not supporting a bankruptcy bill in 2003. “We have 83 percent of the senators supporting Hillary, and it’s wonderful”, she said Monday.

“Do you know what channel on the TV in DC is the program listing?”

According to ABC News, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination revealed her new five-year plan to invest in America’s infrastructure that would be paid for by business tax reform.

Instead, Clinton envisions cooperation with Russian Federation in order to defeat the Islamic State.

Later, after several congratulatory emails were exchanged among Clinton’s staff, political consultant Mark Penn sent an email to Clinton gently suggesting that perhaps it wasn’t wise to lose her temper in the hearing. Her campaign has looked to give supporters a chance to attend the gathering, too, blasting out an email from Gillibrand earlier this month that asked supporters to enter for a chance to attend.

Clinton said “we need to get over the false choice” between going after Daesh or going after Syrian President Bashar Al Assad, who has been caught up in a civil war for more than four years and has Russia’s support.

Hillary Clinton was joined by 13 of the 14 Democratic women of the U.S. Senate at a fundraiser that amounted to a Monday night pep rally for the candidate who could become the first female president.

“I am not sure why she wasn’t (here)”. Warren has taken tough progressive positions that have set her apart from Clinton, opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Keystone Pipeline.

The July 2012 e-mail message, and subsequent travel to places on the list, plays into a narrative Republicans are pushing that Clinton’s actions as secretary of state were motivated by politics, and fits with a line that GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina likes to use against Clinton.

Clinton’s backers are convinced she’ll come on board eventually.

“That was the best she or anyone could do”, Clinton added.
