AP FACT CHECK: Clinton misstates key facts in email episode
AP ^ | May 27, 2016 | LISA LERER and CATHERINE LUCEY

Over the months, Hillary Clinton misstated key facts about her use of private email and her own server for her work as secretary of state, the department's inspector general reported this week.

According to the findings, she claimed approval she didn't have and declined to be interviewed for the report despite saying "I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime." Scrutiny of her unusual email practices appeared to be unwelcome, despite her contention those practices were well known and "fully above board."

A look at some of Clinton's past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general's findings:

CLINTON: "The system we used was set up for President Clinton's office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches." — March 2015 press conference.

THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, though it's unclear whether they were successful....[more at link]

Hillary’s response: “AP is entitled to its own opinion but AP is not entitled to its own facts.”

The AP is doing fact checking??? Really?? They are fact checking Hillary???

The media seem to be highly critical of Hillary esp. With the release of this IG report.

The media are seldom this critical of a Democrat. What’s going on here????

It seems like the press is turning on her but they are just doing CYA. Like the foundation scandals they will report this ONCE then drop it forever.

So what’s the angle being worked here?

Why all of a sudden is there media scrutiny? They have been covering for her for YEARS, but now they want to get serious?

More to the point on the hacking attempts, the testimony referenced two, and the response was to turn the server off for a few minutes. Without reporting it to anyone. With State Department data on it. To call that “inadequate” is an understatement approaching ridicule.

Speaking of E-Mails, I got this one:

Police Report of the Year

The Richland Police report finding a man's body in the Columbia River, near the confluence of the Yakima River, at Columbia Park.

The dead man's name will not be released until his family has been notified.

The victim apparently drowned due to excessive marijuana consumption. He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, purple lipstick, and a ‘Hillary for President' T-shirt. He also had a cucumber in his rectum.

The police removed the Hillary T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment.

In spite of what we sometimes think, the police do care.

How many people does it take to come up with nice ways to say someone lied.

She misstated facts.

She misspoke.

She was taken out of context.

She thought she was telling the truth.

Yep, her multiple lying is egregious. The media has turned a blind eye for years, embarrassing.

"At this point, what difference does it make!!!" "The video made me do it." "Everyone else did it." "Well, at least this time no one died." "You wouldn't punish a grandmother would you."

I still vote for her for Prison in 2016
