Hillary Clinton apologizes: ‘I Am Sorry That This Has Been Confusing’
National Review ^ | 09/05/2015 | Joel Gehrke

Hillary Clinton apologized for “confusing” voters by using a personal e-mail account exclusively for her government work, and allowed that she doesn’t “feel good” hearing that voters distrust her, but she promised that the issue will pass.

“Well, it certainly doesn’t make me feel good but I am very confident that by the time this campaign has run its course people will know that what I’ve been saying is accurate,” Clinton told NBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Friday afternoon. “They may disagree, as I now disagree, with the choice that I made but the facts that I have put forth have remained the same.”

The former secretary of state declined an invitation to apologize for using the private e-mail server, instead reiterating that she failed to make “the best choice,” but she offered a limited apology later in the interview. “At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to all these questions and I will continue to provide those answers,” she said.

Clinton dodged a question about why she wiped her e-mail server clean before the FBI took it into custody, portraying the move as a casual decision to delete unnecessary personal e-mails after giving the work-related messages to the State Department. “I was asked, do you need to keep your personal e-mails and I said ‘no, I don’t, you can delete those’ and they were,” she said.

“Giving” the State Department what she claims are the relevant emails is suspect itself, because she is the arbier of what’s relevant. Giving them in paper form ought to be considered deliberate spoliation of evidence, because it makes them very difficult to search for connection and correlation.

Sounds sincere. Not unlike O’Bozo’s assurances that his administration would be the most transparent admin ever.

She’s sorry it is too complicated for us, the unwashed, to understand.

“I was asked, do you need to keep your personal e-mails and I said ‘no, I don’t, you can delete those’

So, someone deleted them at her direction.
Who? When?

RE: Sounds sincere.

That’s it then? She sincerely apologizes and now gets a “get out of jail free” card?

I doubt that anyone with an IQ over 110 is the least bit confused over what Hillary has been up to. Some may be willing to overlook, because the embrace the Clintonian ethics—such as they are. But no one with average intelligence is confused.

“Confusing?” Not quite the word most voters would use, Hill.

And I’m sorry that Hillary is a lazy, incompetent, arrogant, thieving dimwit.

Hillary: I’m sorry all of you inbred troglodytes are too stupid to realize I can do whatever I please.

The only thing this LIAR is sorry about is it’s costing her the presidency.

The guy who robbed the local bank wants 'to apologize’ too... his political consultant will write the bullsh*t apology... Is that all it takes in DC? Or is that silliness only for liberal elites...?

In flyover we know what breaking the law means...

"I'm sorry you are so stupid and are confused about my email."

I hope she goes to jail.

Hillary thinks America is brain dead. And she’s probably correct.

Either she had two file folders, Private or State
or someone had to look at each message to determine
it’s nature, which would no doubt have meant that
at times they were looking at State department information.
Were they cleared to see this sort of info?
Who were they and why haven’t they appeared before congress?

We all know what she can do with her "apology." "Apologies" are a dime a dozen these days and only mean that somebody got caught and are trying to cover their ....

Ready for Hillary broke the law and severely damaged the country's national security. She needs to go to prison.

“They may disagree, as I now disagree, with the choice that I made but the facts that I have put forth have remained the same.”

Disagree with the choice you made!!!!!!!!!

It takes a totally insane person to either make that statement, or make that statement thinking people will buy it.

Me: Officer, I was speeding, but I totally disagree with myself for speeding.

Officer: Okay, go ahead, but be more careful.
