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.

That is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in quite awhile. Thanks for posting it! :-)
Why don’t the media simply ask the Hildabeast if she gave or had another person(s) give instructions to strip all classified markings and designations from classified documents before emailing them to her. Seems to me this is what she did.
Snowden, the NSA and the FBI taught us that none of our e-mails are personal anymore.
Ed Henry has ballzzzz. Good for him! Good and fair questions. Hillary, prepare to meet your doom.
Imagine an alternate universe where Nixon erased over half of the conversations on his tapes before turning over copies of the conversations that he decided to turn over. He then made the following statement:
“My personal conversations are my personal business, right? We went through a painstaking process and turned over 1,500 hours of anything we thought could be work related. Under the law that decision is made by the official. I was the official. I made those decisions.”
Hillary would have been ok with that, right?
Perhaps this is not "either/or". Given her temper and personality I'm sure no one wants to deliver bad news or inconvenient facts.
Just as surely, Hillary has been able to define her own reality, knowing the press will find a way to spin the facts to support her version. After a while, when no one ever corrects you it becomes possible to believe whatever you say is always right.
Hillary is a monster the media created with their kid-gloves coverage of the Clintons. After all, they bought the Whitewater story and the Benghazi story, so they'll also buy the e-mail story.
Captain Queeg move over, you have company.
so if she had 30,000 +/- personal emails, when did she find time to do her job (be that as it was)?
All this concern over her ‘server’ is a waste of time.
The alleged ‘server’ that was given to the FBI is a decoy.
“I did not have textual relations with that server.”
Saw that quote on another blog earlier.
No Hillary. They are not when you use the same email for personal and your professional government job.
On that server, which probably has multiple backups is her life’s work of collecting the dirty sins of everyone she ever met. She goes down, they go with her. She laughs and mocks because she knows she is untouchable. People who don’t dance with her appear to either go to prison or assume room temperature. This chapter will be over and soon forgotten with no impropriety found to speak of except oops some emails were accidentally mislabeled not top secret when they should have been. She will also remind everyone that other elites in government have private servers. Just simple human error. Nothing sinister here, everyone back to their regularly scheduled PROGRAMMING.
“”What I did was legally permitted,” she added. “
This needs to be clarified.
re:””Well, my personal e-mails are my personal business, right?” Clinton responded.”
According to federal LAW, and speaking as a FORMER FEDERAL EMPLOYEE, you are a public servant, snd open to scrutiny 24/7/365, especially if you possessed any level of security clearance.
As much as we love this, we have to remember that the viable alternative– and Valerie Jarrett’s choice– is Elizabeth Warren.
Warren has the prerequisites to win: she’s female, and she makes Bernie Sanders look like an apologist for Wall Street.
Well . . apparently she and Mrs. Weener were using the State Department offices, phones and computers to launder money taken from the dearly departed Colonel Qadaffi to pad their own fortunes, laundering the ill gotten gains through the Clinton Benevolent Foundation. Then they got blackmailed and tapped the US taxpayer to pay off the MB to the 6 billion dollars (missing from a GAO audit of her Department.
We should elect her president, what could go wrong?
I want her stood up against a wall with a cigarette and blindfold and the military she scorned delivering the justice.
Reminds me of Algore's statement, "There is no controlling legal authority that says this was in violation of law.", except in Hillary's case she obviously broke the law.
An excellent assessment. Hillary appeared to me to actually believe what she was saying, to Ed Henry’s questions, as opposed to say her presser at the UN building answering to the initial breaking story of the server story. There she was tense, stiff and unsmiling, uh’s and ahh’s, and a sense of dread
With Ed Henry, she seemed to have the world by the tail. What is all that about? Why the change? Pills? What is going on with her anyway?
Hillary is rearranging deck chairs on the HMS Clinton! Sinking at the bow.
