In Iowa, Clinton Calls Email Controversy 'Usual' Partisan Politics

Hillary Clinton reiterated her earlier remarks that she "did not send or receive emails marked 'classified' " on a private server used while she was secretary of state, calling the controversy over the subject the "usual" partisan politics.

Appearing at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines with former Sen. Tom Harkin, who endorsed her on Friday, Clinton said "the facts are the same as they have been from the beginning."

"I never sent or received any emails marked 'classified,' " she said, dismissing her accusers as engaging in "the usual politicization, if I just invented a word."

"We'll await the outcome of the email inquiry," she said.

The Democratic presidential candidate's remarks come as The New York Times, citing law enforcement and diplomatic officials, reports that FBI agents examining the email server Clinton turned over earlier this week "are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Mrs. Clinton's personal account."

The Times writes:

"State Department employees apparently circulated the emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011, and some were ultimately forwarded to Mrs. Clinton.

"They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information."

Asked about former Gov. Jeb Bush's remarks suggesting that the Obama administration was to blame for its timing on the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the subsequent rise of the self-described Islamic State, Clinton said she found it "somewhat curious" that he is "doubling down on his brother's actions in Iraq" because the 2011 deadline for the withdrawal of troops was negotiated during the Bush administration.

"I don't know if he [Jeb] did not know that or if he just thought other people wouldn't know," Clinton said.

And still not a single word from Obama.

Think Hillary is feeling a bit isolated?

She knows nothing will come of it.
She’s been playing us for years and
Nothing has come of it, except she
Becomes more and more prominent and
Beloved by the mindless.

As the net grows tighter and more of her staff are involved I’m betting on a stroke, real or fictional,

She knows this is her last chance rodeo, so desperation grows by the hour.

I have friends in Iowa and they're saying Iowans are NOT buying her line of bull$hit.

Joe Biden is warming up in the bullpen and Al Gore just got a call from the pitching coach to warmup.

Simply put: The DemoRATS are in serious trouble.

The evolving Hillary lies:

March 10, 2015: “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.”

July 25, 2015: “I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received.”

August 4, 2015: Campaign spokesman Nick Merrill tells the Washington Post that Clinton “did not send nor receive any emails that were marked classified at the time.”

Updated:

August 15 – “I never sent or received any emails marked 'classified,' "

Like I said elsewhere, Hillary is no green girl, if she doesn’t know the content of her email should have been classified material, she has no business running anything.

But I know you knew that already.

Operating properly is expected by everyone, so why should she be allowed to break laws.

when watching that video I see a new level of sophistication from Trump.

He's looking like he can win it all.

"They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The FBI is setting up some low-level lackey that will be the blamed for any/all emails that were high-security/top security in nature and that's the person who's going to jail.

Hitlery won't see a day in a jail, much less a courtroom.

‘Marked’ or not isn’t the issue. Clinton’s been in Government long enough to know ...

Wasn’t Benghazi a listening post run by the CIA? Gads, there must have been tons of information there thugs in the ME would pay fortunes to see... not that the average money grubber would care - or notice... or want a cut...

How many of us would pay a million to hear Hillary talk for 42 minutes? Who knows - maybe it was all innocent.

Good point... bulging eyes are strange... almost as weird as the head bobbing she does to make it like she’s paying attention when someone’s speaking.

Bulging eyes are classic symptom of Grave’s Disease (hperthyroid), sometimes self-induced by taking an excess of thyroid hormone to speed up one’s metabolism for a prolonged period of high activity, such as trying to work too much or keeping up with a political campaign schedule.

She really does have a boatload of misdeeds in her past and present. The guilt that woman must carry around would crush a normal human. She has to be somewhat demonic to carry the load.

When her life starts crumbling in on itself, look out.

She will need a padded room.
