Fireworks: Hillary Clinton vs. Ed Henry: "My Personal Emails Are Personal, Right?"
Real Clear Politics ^ | August 18, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 08/19/2015 5:32:46 PM PDT by lbryce

At a late afternoon press conference on Tuesday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and FOX News' Ed Henry had a nearly 5-minute contentious verbal battle over her use of a private server, her personal e-mail, differentiating personal business from from State Department work.

"Isn't leadership about taking responsibility?" Ed Henry asked Clinton first.

"Look, I take responsibility," Clinton said. "This didn't turn out to be convenient at all and I regret that this has become such a cause celebre. But this does not change the facts and no matter what anybody tries to say, the facts are stubborn."

"What I did was legally permitted," she added.

Clinton flatly said she did not send or receive any classified documents that went through her personal e-mail account on her private server.

"Whether it was a personal account or a government account, I did not send classified material and I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified, which is the way you know whether something is," she said.

"The FBI believes you tried to wipe the entire server," Henry stated. "Did you try to wipe the entire [server] so that there would be no emails, no personal or no official?"

"Well, my personal e-mails are my personal business, right?" Clinton responded.

No, the only thing missing is some blood, then
we’ll know it’s serious.

Blood in the water
calls the press to feed.

That’s the sort of brazen arrogance that has Hillary enmeshed in her own self-fulfilling hell, every bit deserved.

she gave up that right to keep personal when she decided to mix business with personal.

She does not have the right to decide which is which

When you intertwine personal Email with government business on the same system then no, your personal Email is not entirely personal anymore.

There’s only one reason she setup her own server. It was to thwart any hard record of her communications as secretary of state. If gave her total control of what she wanted records of and what she wanted to hide. That in itself violates the requirement to secure government records.

Well, he did get the ditz to make herself look like a moron when she asked if you “wipe” a computer with some Pledge and a dust rag. What a moronic, phonyass question. Hillary is the biggest phony to ever come down the pike. A bigger fraud than Obonzo is.

"What I did was legally permitted," she added

She chants that like a mantra but I don't think even she believes it. Of course, when your starting point is prevarication it all just becomes shades of gray, right?

Well, as it turns out your Personal Computer is not any longer unless air gapped from the 'net.

E-mail has at least two copies. It's very difficult to delete.

As I mentioned in response to this post before, even Photoshop leaves her looking Hillbilly porcine, all ready to be smothered in barbecue sauce.

“My personal emails are my personal business, right?,”

No dear, not after CLASSIFIED material is found on your server!

You have forfeit all rights to privacy and your server is confiscated and the investigators will determine which items are of interest.

Once they are done with the investigation and that means all prosecutions are complete, the server will be destroyed.

It seems possible that Hillary is kept in a bubble, for all sorts of possible reasons, and her handlers will not let her out of it.

Either the handlers are cowards and will not report bad news to her, will not correct her, will not advise her honestly, or Hillary is a mental case unable to recognize common sense any longer.

That interview was a study in bubble wrapped reasoning. She seemed to honestly believe her own press, her own version of “stubborn facts” regarding the emails and server, but gloriously defying logic from start to finish.

God deliver us all from bubble wrap.
