HILLARY--2016-NOT THE BEST CHOICE
Posted on 08/26/2015 6:56:01 PM PDT by Beave Meister
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she understood why people had questions about her decision to use only private email while she was secretary of state and that she took responsibility for that decision, a shift from her past remarks about an issue that has dogged her since shortly before she began her presidential campaign.
Her remarks, made during a campaign stop in Iowa, came as Mrs. Clinton has faced growing criticism for making light of her email use, which Democrats fear has become an albatross on her hopes of winning the White House. “What, like with a cloth or something?” she said to a Fox News reporter last week who had asked whether she had “wiped,” or erased, her email server before turning it over to the F.B.I. recently.
“I know people have raised questions about my email use as secretary of state, and I understand why,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday. “I get it. So here’s what I want the American people to know: My use of personal email was allowed by the State Department. It clearly wasn’t the best choice. I should’ve used two emails: one personal, one for work.”

What exactly do politicians expect us to think when they regally say they “take responsibility” for this or that? Do they think that they are thereby absolved from all responsibility? I think that the next time I am stopped for speeding, I will try the magic words and say say, Officer, I take full responsibility for exceeding the speed limit.” I wonder if he will apologize for stopping me.
WAY True Dat....
Felony!
My use of personal email was allowed by the State Department.No, it wasn't. And the question is about your illegal private server, you lying bitch!
Sorry. It only works if you are Hillary. She is entitled.
Prison is for the little people.
Let me know when they put her in jail like Manning!
It’s a long long time to the election. Beside being a poor campaigner, I can’t see how she can outlive her scandals.
Grandma Clinton downplaying it. On purpose to alter perception.
Betcha the NSA and State Department didn't approve of the classified emails that was sent and received while she were Secretary of State that was not sent over secured facilities. Somebody needs to ask this witch how she sent and received all of those classified governmental documents, not just whether they existed on her personal server. She broke many more national security laws than everyone realizes.
So taking responsibility means she’ll plead “guilty”?
LOL. Of course it was allowed. She was head of the State Department.
Got an early morning Tweet from Hillary Clinton complaining that although it was dark where she was, she couldn’t sleep. She sent a photo that was hard to make out. After some study and consulting with a mechanic, it became clear that it was the greasy underside of a 2008 model Greyhound bus!
I image a clean prison cell will soon start to look attractive to her.
The four murdered Americans from Benghazi don’t think much of Hillary’s choices.
It sounds like Joe is on his way in and Hillary is on her way out. She is setting the stage for a departure while avoiding prison.
Dollars to donuts there is a pardon in her future ... can’t be a good criminal without dirt on the opposition.
Of course not! She's taking responsibility, not blame!
Yeah, sure, she’s real contrite and taking responsibility. Uh, no, it’s because Biden turned down taking over after they dump her so she has to make nice as she’s their only option so it needs to disappear. Blah, that ruins my prediction from day one she’d step down in October. Well, there’s still time.

until I need to cut some nuts?” HRC I
She knew what the normal way to handle communications was, but she wanted IMO to control her privacy and probably her involvement in the Foundations.
