Hillary should ask “When has discussion of my emails ever fed a hungry child?”

[Menthops]

The GOPe hardly has standing to complain given the abuses of the GWB era - CIA agent outing, political federal prosecutor firings, etc.

[datura]

Hitlery should be very concerned, now that Biden is in the news again.

Clinton is still doing that I did not send or receive anything marked classified tap dance...why can't Chuck Todd see that?

Oh yeah, the blindfold...

[txrefugee]

“If you were a tree....” There is nothing as insipid as a Demorat being interviewed by another Democrat.

[Seaplaner]

I never sent or received any material marked "Classified."

Having worked as a young Airman, many many decades ago, with classified material...

...I never saw any classified document marked simply as "classified".

(The docs were marked with the classification, e.g. "secret".)

One suspects duplicitous, deceitful, and actually insulting Clintonian parsing to avoid the truth.

I don’t think Chuck was selected for the job because he was smart. In fact, I think they select them because they are a bit challenged but can follow the script and enthusiastically pimp the designated candidate.

Excellent point

“”The GOPe hardly has standing to complain given the abuses of the GWB era - CIA agent outing, political federal prosecutor firings, etc.””

THose fake but accurate investigations were just for show. There was nothing illegal about putting plames name in the newspaper. We know this because nobody was ever charged with it.

It is also not illegal for a President to fire an attorney general. They can be fired for any reason or no reason.

F. Chuck Todd...."What's your favorite color, Hillary"?? Or...."Aren't those Republicans MEAN to you, honey"?

Todd looks like a CHILD MOLESTER with that hideous GOAT-TEE!! YUK.

Quite right and I've pointed this out on other threads. You beat me to it on this one.

If the networks want to restore their reputations, they should have a rule: Any reporter who asks a question beginning “How worried are you about...” is instantly fired.

[Arthur McGowan]

THAT is a really good Clinton-speak catch.

Thank you.

Quite correct. "Classified" is not a specific category stamped on secure documents. It is a generic term that encompasses various levels/markings of classification such as "Confidential", "Secret" and "Top Secret." Hillary is technically correct when she says "I did not send or receive any emails marked classified" - because there is no such thing.

Exactly what has this to do with Republicans?

[uncbob]

What he should have asked was

"All you communication as SOS was through your private email server and you expect people to believe none were classified ? "
