Hillary on FBI Investigation: ‘I Can’t Control What the Republicans and Their Allies Do’

Hillary on FBI Investigation: 'I Can't Control What the Republicans and Their Allies Do' Katherine Timpf

Hillary Clinton says she “not concerned” about the FBI investigation into her handling of highly classified material “because I know what the facts are.” Appearing this morning on Meet the Press, Clinton blamed Republicans for the latest reports her server contained material beyond top secret.

“I never sent or received any material marked ‘classified,’ I cannot control what the Republicans leak and what they are contending,” Clinton said.

She then echoed her campaign manager, Brian Fallon, who said the intelligence community’s inspector general is conspiring with Republicans to bring down her campaign:

And I thought it was interesting, Chuck, you’ll as a political observer understand why, back a couple months ago Kevin McCarthy spilled the beans that the Benghazi investigation was all about bringing me down, something that I suspected but I went ahead, testified for 11 hours, answered all their questions and even they admitted there was nothing new. Now, Senator Grassley shows up at a Trump rally yesterday in Iowa. He’s the chairman of the Judiciary Committee who has — and his staff have been behind and pushing a lot of these stories, and announces he’s there for the simple reason, to defeat me. I can’t control what the Republicans are doing. But I know what the facts are and I will just keep putting them out there. This is something that I think is very clear about what happened and I know it will be over and resolved at some point but I can’t control what the Republicans and their allies do, but I think it’s important for voters to know what are they doing.

"I never sent or received any material marked 'classified,' I cannot control what the Republicans leak and what they are contending," Clinton said.

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is. I never handled any material marked "classified" either. I handled a lot of material marked "SECRET" or "TOP SECRET", sometimes with code words, but never anything marked 'classified'.

I also never told people to strip classification markings from sensitive material. In many cases, I determined the classification for my work. I always considered classification as I wrote, marking each document and even each paragraph properly before inserting the sensitive material. But I never marked anything "classified", just "CONFIDENTIAL", "SECRET", or "TOP SECRET".

Bill Clinton was a particularly charming and skilled liar. Hillary is an evil, power-hungry liar, and she's not even good at it.

I saw her interview and was struck by the fact that she has no enthusiasm for running. She almost looked as though she was on Thorazine she was so subdued. Her answers were totally devoid of any expression.

Then she launches into the old tired, “It's a vast right wing conspiracy” routine from almost 20 years ago to fend off having to explain her crimes and treason.

She absolutely has no energy, enthusiasm, or fire in the belly running for president. She is going through the motions thinking that she is entitled and people will just roll over themselves to vote for her.

Slick Willy had and still has lots of friends in high places. He has a charming personality and can lie with impunity. He lied to a grand jury and got away with it.

Hillary has no friends and has the personality of a angry porcupine. That will be a factor.

Obviously not true, or she would not be walking around free as a bird and running for POTUS.

“I never sent or received any material marked ‘classified,’”

The question the media won’t ask:

“You are in a position that requires constant communication no matter where you are, and you are all over the world, traveling constantly.

Just how the hell DID you receive and send secret information? The Pony Frickin’ Express?”

As someone else said, she is the most crimal female ever in the history of the Republic. And she’s still walking free.

Trump knows Kelly will be there and he wants her there. He’s making sure the ratings are high.

He’s always two steps ahead of everyone else.

She doesn’t want to run for the presidency, she just wants it given to her, because she is completely power hungry.

I would like to know the answer to that. There is no way that she didn’t receive classified info on her server For crying out loud it was the only way she communicated...according to her. So for all those years she wants us to believe everything she sent and received was just fluff?.....bull.

Hillary isn't lying when she says this. That statement is her version of "it depends on what the definition "is" is. The word classified is a generic term that encompasses various levels of specific security markings such as "Confidential", "Secret" and "Top Secret" There are documents with these markings, but none marked with the word "Classified." Someone in the media needs to confront her on this and ask: "Did you ever send or receive any material specifically marked "Confidential", "Secret", or "Top Secret?" She will undoubtedly repeat that she never sent or received any material marked "Classified." At that point, she needs to again be confronted with the fact that there is no marking that uses the word "Classified" and asked again about the specific categories of markings that are used for secure information.

I assume she never saw any email that had SBU, EXDIS and NODIS markings either.

She doesn't know the proper markings for classified documents because she had her underlings strip them off and send documents that way. She's never seen a properly marked document. Information is classified whether it's marked or not. If I did anything approaching this, or even what Petraeus did, I'd be in Federal PMITA prison for the rest of my life.
