Clinton: 'I'm asking people to hold me accountable'
The Hill ^ | 2-1-2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 02/01/2016 5:39:36 AM PST by Citizen Zed

Hillary Clinton early Monday faced questioning of her use of a private email while secretary of State as she hopes to pull out a win in Iowa, which on Monday becomes the first state to cast votes.

The Democratic presidential candidate also touted her bipartisan efforts in the Senate and work with both political parties while secretary of State to cast herself as a uniter.

"I know how you get things done. I am a progressive who wants to make progress and actually produce real results in people's lives. That's what I'm offering," Clinton said on CNN's "New Day."

"I'm not over-promising," Clinton continued, taking an implicit shot at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who she is hoping to fend off when supporters go to caucus Monday night in the Hawkeye State.

"I'm laying out the plans that I have, I'm asking people to look at them and I'm asking people to hold me accountable, because I want to get back to working together, to try to unite this country," she said.

Clinton maintained an upbeat tone during the CNN appearance, part of several media interviews Monday, saying she was proud of her supporters in the state and urging viewers to caucus for her.

The former secretary of State continued to insist that there is nothing new regarding her use of a private email server days after the State Department declared that 22 of the emails were "top secret" and would not be released to the public.

Clinton pivoted Monday to compare the latest update regarding her emails to the GOP-led House investigation into her handling of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

"Just a lot of innuendo, a lot of attacks," Clinton said.

Why does she want to “unite” the country after 7 years
of the “one’s” perfect leadership.

Hillary! should have a big “L” branded on her forehead
for LOSER!

Accountable has different meanings to different people.
Similar to Bill’s definition of the word”is”.

She just may rue the day that she said she wants to be held accountable- there is a segment of civilized society that still understands honor, country and treason.

A big red "L" would represent many of her qualities.

A feeble attempt at reverse psychology.

would be better to have a “T” branded on her face for treason- I am not one for hate- but this criminal enterprise named Clinton sure comes close in my book.

This family of grifters should go down in history as an example of Satan’s minions

I am of the opinion that she has made promises to unsavory characters- that she may not be able to fulfill if she is not elected.

We already do. Hillary's e-mails compromised the ambasador's mission. The enemy was waiting for him. They attacked the compound and killed him. Hillary ignored the laws, the rules, the OPSEC and the COMSEC. She will be proof forever that compromised communications matter. She deserves prison for what she has done.

Still another lie... She cannot help herself.

Ivy League lawyers can only lie. Look at the Clintoons, Obama and GOPer lawyers.

She will deny having said those words. And, 47% will believe her.

After what happened to Petraeus, I doubt that will happen. Remember Petraeus was never indicted. Hillary will go the same route. There are reasons 100-150 agents are working on the investigation. From the leaks it’s farther along than publicly known.

We just saw Obama take a step back when just a few weeks ago he and the Hildebeast were arm in arm.

If the Dept of Just-us dallies, the other threat out there is that the FBI will go public with their findings. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FBI has found evidence of tax evasion associated with her pay-to-play dealings for the Clinton foundations when she was SOS. That brings in the IRS. They’re not part of the Dept. of Just-us. That’s Treasury.

People will forgive a lot. Cheating on income taxes and getting away with it isn’t one of them once it’s made public and you’re trying to convince people to trust you.

She waited until after she declared her candidacy to agree to the Benghazi hearings. She will wait until after the first few primaries to turn over the egregious emails ...

All so she can claim these are merely political attacks.

In other words, “Catch me, if you can!”.

Hillary’s idea of accountability: “Huma darling, did you like that?”
