Clinton: Answers on email server should have been quicker
The Hill ^ | January 25, 2016 | Lisa Hagen

Posted on 01/25/2016 11:49:45 PM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Hillary Clinton on Monday night conceded she should have apologized sooner for the handling of her private email server while she was serving as secretary of State, saying she should have responded faster.

"I had no intention of doing anything other than having a convenient way of communicating and it turned out to be not so convenient," the Democratic presidential front-runner said at CNN's Democratic town hall in Des Moines, Iowa.

"So again we've answered every question and we will continue to do so. But maybe being faster - trying to scramble around to find out what all of this means - I probably should have done that quicker," she continued.

Clinton wouldn't go as far to say it was an error of judgment, arguing that "nothing that I did was wrong" and that it "was not in any way prohibited."

But she defended the timeliness of her response: "When you're facing something like that, you got to get the facts and it takes time to get the facts."

"But I think it's great. Let people sort them through, and as we've seen, there's a lot of interest, but something that took time to get done," Clinton added.

The forum is one last chance for the Democratic candidates to deliver their final pitches to voters in the Hawkeye State one week ahead of the caucuses. Recent polls show rival Bernie Sanders has cl

Yes, after three years of systematic lying, concealment of evidence, and destruction of evidence, it is probably safe to say that Hillary should have been “quicker.”

“When you’re facing something like that, you got to get the facts and it takes time to get the facts.”

What does that mean? I mean, Lady, this was your server. You set it up. What facts? You stone walled any examination of the facts... and secondly where the h*ll are the emails you discarded? That’s your idea of getting the facts, discarding emails.

The media would like us to believe that people are going to come out and vote for this person.

They are not. She was polarizing 8 years ago, she’s more polarizing now.

Anyone who is for abortion, on demand, for whatever reason, at any time...is the devil. And if we vote for someone like this, our country is doomed....

Did she ever see anything that was deemed classified at the time in four years in office ?

Well, let's see: On a daily basis, she was communicating with the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA, NSA, foreign governments, and our embassies around the world. Nah, none of that could have possibly been classified.

Even breaking one of those would have doomed any normal government or military employee.

She facilitated espionage......

Hillary Clinton on Monday night conceded she should have apologized sooner for the handling of her private email server...

Has she ever apologized for intentionally and repeatedly releasing classified information? For intentionally causing grave damage to US interests? Her so-called apology rings hollow.

"I had no intention of doing anything other than having a convenient way of communicating..."

Bull ... effin' ... excrement. No-one runs their own servers for fun and convenience except a handful of IT geeks. (I know more than a few, and I say that with affection guys) To everyone else, IT, security, hardware and software maintenance issues are all royal pains in the neck. (or lower) She went to the trouble and expense of setting up and maintaining her own server for the express purpose of avoiding the oversight, accountability, controls, and safeguards there would have been on official servers. This was premeditated.

Clinton wouldn't go as far to say it was an error of judgment, arguing that "nothing that I did was wrong" and that it "was not in any way prohibited."

If she still cannot see or refuses to acknowledge that what she did was criminally wrong then she is irrational and unqualified for any position of trust.

Truthful.

What Hillary’s answers should have been.

But still aren’t.

No, you just thought as usual that you being above us peons that you do what you want, when you want and get away with it.

And thanks to you and your friends on the committee, (republicans included) so far you have.

But one day you will answer for your crimes Hillary. Either here on earth or in the hereafter. You will answer for them.

“Back fifteen years ago, I was put on some meds for such, and went through daily and even hourly coughing fits. “

Lisinopril? That got me coughing.

I wonder how the bad guys learned of the gun running operation (well, missiles) in Benghazi? I wonder how they knew Stevens would be there for a critical meeting?

Looking back...I had some minor blood pressure issues, and the doctor figured to be safe. So I started up on Lisinopril. It probably took me about six weeks before I noticed a minor cough, and another month before I started to have coughing fits (once or twice a day). It didn’t make connection for me, and I even went to the doctor on two occasions in six months to complain about it...but none of them connected this back to Lisinopril, and I didn’t have the cough all the time. What they simply said was that I had a dry mouth, and it’d help to sip liquids more.

I ended going for maybe four years, still with Lisinopril, and continually having a bottle of water around me constantly. I’d also go through cough drops and Tic Tacs to keep my mouth moisture. It was all gimmicks...I’d still have an attack about five or six times a week. Once, my co-worker thought I was going to have a heart-attack from the intensity of the cough.

So around spring of 2010....my prescription came to an end and I had moved to another job/location....so I got through about six weeks without the blood pressure medication, and discovered absolutely no cough. I did the research and then figured out the whole connection to Lisinopril.

After that episode....I’m of a split opinion about using medication for every single issue. What’s the real issue of your problem and where does it really lead back to? I gave up sodas entirely....started up a fair amount of walking...and my blood pressure is fairly near where it ought to be. There are alternate medications to Lisinopril for people with significant reason for medication, and people ought to be told of this up front.

Monday: Please send us the answer as to why you had a private computer with classified information on it.
Tuesday: Here are your answers.

Any delay is politics. Anyone else goes to prison. I hope Trump puts her in prison.

Honest answers are actually owning up to...

She has never provided any honest answers to any questions on any topic - ever! Hillary is a psychopath and a lying bag of filth!
