Hillary Hit With Email Question at Rope Line in Iowa
PJ Media ^ | January 23, 2016 | Debra Heine

Things got a little awkward for Hillary Clinton on the rope line in Vinton, Iowa, yesterday, thanks to a plucky Iowan who actually keeps up with current events.

It started innocently enough with Hillary shaking hands with supporters, taking selfies and signing autographs at a Vinton skating and recreation center. The fun came to an abrupt end, Politico reports, when she got to a certain Ms. Althea Cole.

"How do you plan to sidestep the reality that you are sending secure, SAP emails on your private, unsecured server?" Cole asked Clinton, who was at her second event of the day. "I'm very concerned about national security issues."

"I am too," Clinton interjected.

"How much are you asking people to forgive or excuse?" Cole pressed.

Clinton smiled tightly, but she stayed with the woman, answering the question with a definitive tone. "You know what, it's not true," Clinton replied. "It's not true. I never sent or received -- "

"You never received top secret information on your private server?" Cole interrupted the former secretary of state.

"No, no I did not," Clinton said, ready to move on.

"Well," Cole said, "I appreciate you trying to tell me that."

"Yep, it's true."

"I don't believe her," Cole mumbled under her breath as she escaped from the crowd.

Cole, a Republican from Cedar Rapids told Politico that she came out to see Bernie Sanders, too, and has plans to see Martin O'Malley.

"I'm also an Iowan and I have the opportunity to do so," she said. When asked if she would consider supporting Clinton after seeing her speak, she replied: "Bloody hell, no!"

What did they expect her to say?!

Ms Cole has more guts than the whole 22 who lined up to attack Trump in print at the NR, and then run and hide (except for a couple).

“Mrs. Clinton, are you above the law?”

When I see the words “Hillary hit with” and the sentence does not include “baseball bat”, “2 by 4”, or “federal indictment”...I am disappointed.

Seeing Hillary and rope line in the header got my hopes only to have them dashed yet again in the body of text.

Someday...maybe the trap will fall

A commenter on the article had a great followup.

“So Hillary, just how DID you receive Top Secret information while SOS?”

“”You never received top secret information on your private server?” Cole interrupted the former secretary of state.
“No, no I did not,” Clinton said, ready to move on.”

she should have then asked, if Hillary would be willing to state that in a court of law.

It’s only going to get worse for her. Didn’t the fbi say they were going to dribble things out until she’s indicted? Wonder where the bottom is?

It’s not like Hillary can turn to one of her aides and say “have that woman killed.”As much as I suspect she would if she could.

That is THE question. Can't understand why it has not been asked many times.
