Hillary Clinton on email scandal: Everybody calm down
Politico ^ | 07/24/2015 | By JOSH GERSTEIN and HANNA TRUDO

Posted on 07/24/2015 12:38:53 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton on Friday sought to downplay the latest twist in the long-running scandal over her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, saying reports of a possible criminal probe are full of inaccuracies.

News emerged on Thursday evening that at least one inspector general passed to the Justice Department evidence of potential mishandling of classified information, a referral that could lead to a criminal investigation.

Clinton on Friday said people are getting worked up over not much. “Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,” she said, in remarks before a policy speech in New York on Wall Street.

She went on to express frustration over what she called erroneous reporting. “We all have a responsibility to get this right. I have released 55,000 pages of emails. I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions before the House committee. We are all accountable to get the facts right. I will do my part. But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues that really matter to American families.”

Clinton appeared to be loose with her phrasing, however. She has not personally released any emails to the public — only to the State Department, which is reviewing them for release in monthly batches.

The controversy has dogged Clinton for five months, at times overshadowing her on the campaign trail, and presenting one of the biggest outstanding risks to her bid for the presidency. The revelation that she used a private account, which represented a break from State Department protocol, has reinforced the reputation that the Clintons are secretive and operate by a different set of rules.

She's blaming Global Warming?

Ludicrous would be my definition.

What is easier? Having to use a system pre-populated/setup or obtaining the hardware, obtaining the software, installing, hardening the system, setting up storage/backups, maintaining, etc.?

Your hypothesis is spot on.

My wife (of 30 years) has always said I talk like a sailor. I'm am trying to improve most especially here at our conservative site.

The old “you are out of control” patronization trick with a twist.

I truly believe she is so dumb that she doesn’t know the difference between classified and non classified. Everything she’s ever done has been dictated to her. She has never accomplished anything in her life. She is a real dummy. The scary thing is getting the nomination is all she needs to do. The votes will be hers. And what does that say about people who will vote for her?

Hey Hillary, we're not going to calm down.

You have single handedly put our country at grave risk and threatened our national security. You have broken laws and State Department protocol. How many years of indictable offenses? We shall see.

Hillary Just Recused Herself

Hillary's Server Conundrum: Is it going away?

Nope, it's not going away. It will be investigated, depositions taken, hackers interviewed and the charges forthcoming. Welcome to reality Hillary and Thanks a Lot for creating a national security crisis because you wanted to hide your personal emails.

What a disgrace. If you had any semblance of a conscience, you would drop out of the race tomorrow.

I have released 55,000 pages of emails.

Yes, you're a lying scumbag who releases printed pages instead of actual emails with metadata and the lick-spittle, boot-licking press lets you get away with it.

“But I’m also going to stay focused on the issues, particularly the big issues that really matter to American families.” “

Subtext of that line is...”Like abortion anytime and raising taxes and open the flood gates with illegals here.”

The media props her up, but compared to The Donald she is so boring that it’s more entertaining to watch water boil

The voters are mind-numbed to identity politics. It works to create equal opportunity in the name of affirmative action—positive discrimination—a Marxist ploy to eliminate competition. At the heart of all of this is egalitarianism which Karl Marx looked to as the starting point in the creation of his Marxist philosophy. The indifferent American electorate has swallowed Marxism and the next verification of their progress is whether they elect der Hildebeast. I expect they will.

Gen. David Patraeus was prosecuted for having classified material in his house, why not Hillary?

She obviously needs to brush up on her Alinsky, hers looks too staged and unnatural, her delivery stinks.

(BTW, so does she)
