Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she understood why people had questions about her decision to use only private email while she was secretary of state and that she took responsibility for that decision, a shift from her past remarks about an issue that has dogged her since shortly before she began her presidential campaign.
Her remarks, made during a campaign stop in Iowa, came as Mrs. Clinton has faced growing criticism for making light of her email use, which Democrats fear has become an albatross on her hopes of winning the White House. “What, like with a cloth or something?” she said to a Fox News reporter last week who had asked whether she had “wiped,” or erased, her email server before turning it over to the F.B.I. recently.
“I know people have raised questions about my email use as secretary of state, and I understand why,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday. “I get it. So here’s what I want the American people to know: My use of personal email was allowed by the State Department. It clearly wasn’t the best choice. I should’ve used two emails: one personal, one for work.”

Well, this should put it to bed, right? What does it matter now? She has issues important for working families that need to be addressed and she's just the pantsuited womanperson for the job......And people still believe her.

A couple of question for Hillary Clinton Email Fans:
1. What was the exact date that the NJ Server was scrubbed?
2. Who besides me has asked that question?
To: All
She didn't come out with that politician's favorite yet -
"Lessons were learned”

Wow, I just learned something ... if you do a treasonous felony all you have to do is say ‘I take responsibility ... I understand why you are upset ... let’s just get past this and move on’ and everything will be forgiven and smiles all around.
Cool.

I heard her say that when this is over there will be no there, there! Sorry to paraphrase, but that is exactly what she meant— that when this investigation is over, she will be vindicated.

I think it’s time we moved away from the word “responsibility”, and towards “consequences”.

Hillary will not be indicted. She is of the Untouchable class. The law that applies to you and me does not apply to her.
