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.

G. Gordon Liddy always referred to Her Heinous as a "harridan". She certainly fits the definition: har•ri•dan (noun) 1. a scolding old woman; nag (of uncertain origin; perhaps related to French haridelle, literally: broken-down horse; of obscure origin] 2. a scolding, vicious woman; hag; shrew. Noun 1. harridan - a scolding (even vicious) old woman ↔common scold, nag, nagger, scold, scolder - someone (especially a woman) who annoys people by constantly finding fault noun ≡ shrew, witch, nag, scold, virago, tartar, battle-axe (informal), termagant, Xanthippe, ballbreaker (slang) She was a mean old harridan.

If those Emails were so darn personal, why did she let a bunch of Interns and State Department hacks review them before they were deleted?

They must have signed non-disclosure agreements in their own Blood.

“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.”

That’s how pathological liars are. They lie so much, so constantly, that they even lie to themselves and begin to believe their own lies.

But this does not change the facts and no matter what anybody tries to say, the facts are stubborn."

Which explains why she had to create so many more lies trying to push them pesky stubborn facts away....them stubborn facts may finally lead to her downfall.

So if you didn’t send or receive classified material either through personal or government e-mail, then as Secretary of State, you couldn’t possibly have been doing your job, right?

Technically Hillary should just tell the truth,she was given the Authority,according to the State Dept. Report,by Obama himself to determine what was classified and not,all she has to say is none of it was classified,oh right she already said that,why she is not saying she had that authority by Obama is beyond me.
I guess that’s why she is using the argument that there is always disagreement between State and intelligence on what is classified,Hillary deemed NOTHING CLASSIFIED AND disseminated it all over the place.

“That’s how pathological liars are. They lie so much, so constantly, that they even lie to themselves and begin to believe their own lies.” ———

I believe that. It IS “pathological”. Wes Pruden said years ago that Hillary has always been a congenital liar.

When she finally faced the *truth* about Bill and Monica, think about her reaction. She exploded, she grieved for her own future and career, then rationalized that her option to stay with him would be a boost to her long term plans in politics. They have been married in name only ever since.

She is not normal. She is clinically self centered and careless about the interests of the USA. She wreaks with self promotion and no conscience.

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

Not if they are mixed with official business. While at work I would sometime send or receive personal e-mails. This was with the understanding that anything I sent or received was something the company could pull up and look at. In other words they weren't personal. When Hillary decided to use her own server for official State department business all e-mails are fair game.
