Hillary Clinton: ‘I won’t get down in the mud’ over email probe
Politico ^ | 08/14/2015 | Rachael Bade

CLEAR LAKE , Iowa — Hillary Clinton hammered away at Republicans for their Benghazi investigation and probes of her email practices on Friday night, arguing the GOP was playing politics and chasing conspiratorial fantasies.

During Iowa’s famous Wing Ding dinner in Clear Lake, the 2016 Democratic front-runner dismissed Republican concerns about the transparency of her email arrangement and said she’s already been exonerated by earlier investigations.

“Benghazi was a tragedy where four Americans died… but let’s be clear: Seven exhaustive investigations… have already debunked all of the conspiracy theories,” she said. “It’s not about email servers either. It’s about politics.”

Clinton even opened her speech with a taunt aimed at GOP theories that she intentionally deleted emails to hide something: “You may have seen I recently launched a Snapchat account. I love it: Those messages disappear all by themselves…”

The crowd exploded in applause.

Hill Republicans created the House Select Committee on Benghazi to probe the events that led up to the 2012 attack, an investigation increasingly focused on the former Secretary of State — particularly after news broke that she exclusively used a personal email for work and circumvented policies mandating official accounts for record-keeping purposes.

The FBI has opened a probe into her email arrangement after an inspector general found potential “top secret,” classified information on her unsecured, home-made system. This week she turned over her server to law enforcement officials, a server she said she wiped clean after turning over 35,000 official emails to the State Department for record-keeping purposes earlier this year.

Clinton told a room jam-packed with Democratic supporters that she’s turned over 55,000 pages worth of her emails, calling for them to be made public immediately; has handed in her server to the Justice Department; and has “been offering to answer [GOP] questions for months,” including coming to the Hill to testify.

“But here’s what I won’t do: I won’t get down in the mud with them… or dishonor the memories of those who died. I don’t pretend this isn’t about politics,” she said.

“No scandal has even been more thoroughly investigated that this one, and nothing came of it. This is old news, it’s time to move on.”

I offer a 100% guarantee that this is what you will be hearing from Hitlery this time next year. It’s a formula the Clinton’s have used over and over again, and like Charlie Brown with Lucy’s football the American public keeps falling for it.

She is just like her accused, rapist husband...
Remember when he shook his finger and told us...”I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewnishy”

now her turn, blame others, for all her faults, she sure learned from an expert.

Note to Granny Benghazi...We American’s want to know why you told a FAIRY TALE story to the families of those four American men? You have not told the truth for so many years you believe your own tales... yes., we still remember the missing Rose Law Firm records and the sudden death of your great friends Vince Foster, and Ron Brown...to name just a few sudden deaths.

time for the TRUTH...

Not to worry Hillaryous Rotten Criminal. Megyn Machinegun Kelly will protect you from the “war on women”. The Marxist meme has been programmed into her viewers. Carly will help.
