Hillary Clinton on email scandal: Everybody calm down
Politico ^ | 07/24/2015 | By JOSH GERSTEIN and HANNA TRUDO

Posted on 07/24/2015 12:38:53 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton on Friday sought to downplay the latest twist in the long-running scandal over her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, saying reports of a possible criminal probe are full of inaccuracies.

News emerged on Thursday evening that at least one inspector general passed to the Justice Department evidence of potential mishandling of classified information, a referral that could lead to a criminal investigation.

Clinton on Friday said people are getting worked up over not much. “Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,” she said, in remarks before a policy speech in New York on Wall Street.

She went on to express frustration over what she called erroneous reporting. “We all have a responsibility to get this right. I have released 55,000 pages of emails. I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions before the House committee. We are all accountable to get the facts right. I will do my part. But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues that really matter to American families.”

Clinton appeared to be loose with her phrasing, however. She has not personally released any emails to the public — only to the State Department, which is reviewing them for release in monthly batches.

The controversy has dogged Clinton for five months, at times overshadowing her on the campaign trail, and presenting one of the biggest outstanding risks to her bid for the presidency. The revelation that she used a private account, which represented a break from State Department protocol, has reinforced the reputation that the Clintons are secretive and operate by a different set of rules.

Sanders’ campaign slogan of “Feel the Bern” is downright creepy as well.

The definition of wasting time should be nailing the Clinton's with a scandal.
Ask her one question only... Hillary what are your accomplishments...besides marrying Bill the perve and cashing in on bribery from foreign and domestic enemy's.

Could der Hildebeast be so out of touch she does not realize she is soon to be toast? She may be wanting to find a country to escape to like Edward Snowden did.

LOL

I’ll bet she has impacted more families (directly or indirectly) than he has.

With the folks dropping like flies in Arkansas from decades back, you wonder how much Bill and Hillary knew about those things.

Bernie Sanders is making it obvious which acquaintances (on FB and elsewhere) are naked Communists or at least Red Dupes.
