Hillary Clinton defended her use of a private e-mail server when pressed on her knowledge of the issue during her first appearance on Fox News in the past two years.
"There's misinformation going on around here. Let me start with the basic facts. I have said, it wasn't the best choice to use a personal e-mail. It was a mistake, however, I am not alone in that. Many people in the government past and current have, on occasion or as a practice, do the same. Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified," Clinton affirmed during the Fox News Democratic Town Hall in Detroit on Monday evening.
Clinton has mostly been able to skirt talking about the FBI investigation of her private server during previous Democratic town halls and debates this primary cycle, but Bret Baier pressed the former secretary of state on the specific of the issue, comparing Clinton's prior claims to current knowledge.
Although the Sate Department has redacted and declare 2,101 of Clinton's emails as "classified," 44 as "secret" and 22 as "top secret" Clinton insisted that her prior statement that there was no classified information on her e-mail server.
In the past, Clinton has also justified her actions based on other in the government. Most recently Clinton said she will release the transcripts of her Wall Street speeches. On Monday, Clinton said that she has been mistreated for her personal e-mails, since former Secretary of State Colin Powell had a similar e-mail set up.
"Colin Powell's e-mails were retroactively classified for more than 10 years ago as he said, that was an absurdity. I cannot agree more," Clinton said, adding, "Once the American people see it, they will know how absurd this is. Colin Powell and I are exactly on the same page."
On Tuesday voters in Michigan will vote in the democrat primary. Clinton currently leads Sanders in the state 55-42 percent according to the latest polling.
There’s no choice with Hillary. The FBI is also investigating her pay-to-play scheme that netted the Clinton foundations two billion dollars. Of course that’s adds up to tax evasion of a magnitude that’s unimaginable for the poor Clintons.
Hillary will either get sick and withdraw from public life, with a pardon of course, or she’ll take a dirt nap. She has no other options. The criminal stuff is that bad.
Raise your hands if you remember the “Mistakes were made...” old saw. Why in the world would anyone with any sense about them vote for someone who would take us back to those dark, miserable days? I am so weary at the thought of it that I can hardly breathe. Other than Satan himself, I’m about ready to vote for anybody who has a decent chance to keep Hillary out of the presidency.
Did you watch the RAT focus group on Kelly? I had to turn it off, because the answers these people were giving were sheer lunacy. No wonder we have a divided country. The way those people think is so foreign that I could not live next door to any of them.
Same page? Not even in the same book!
When Powell has over 100 career FBI agents analyzing his emails and a computer tech pleading the fifth, then being granted immunity to testify about the server arrangement, maybe a comparison can be drawn.
Until then, Shrillary is a liar. But then, we already knew that.
“When her aids cut and pasted classified satellite images.....”
They committed several felonies which should land them in prison for a minimum of 10 years. If Clinton requested that be done, she should be sent to prison for life.
You forgot “Confidential”.
The question she can’t answer:
“Mrs. Clinton, Top Secret Satellite photos have an embedded Classification Markings from the originating agency. They’re not something that can be edited out, other than blocking out that portion of the image.”
“Given that the photo in question was either marked or contained an obviously blacked out marking, how can you insist that you didn’t know that image was Highly Classified, when you know this detail?”
See post #28
“Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified,”
Cutting and pasting classified content doesn’t count. Even
if the content of the document is classified, if it’s not
“marked classified”, then it’s ok.
Yea, Right. This broad is a walking sack of .....
When you are cleared, you also know what types of data is classified. There are restrictions about where you can even talk about it, especially top secret. There are “tanks” where you go and work and that is the only place you can even talk about the information.
She thinks all of us are sooooo stupid.
Okay; indict him too.
It was "only" small amounts of crack cocaine, and a little hashish. I had no idea that those vacuum-sealed bricks I was transporting contained heroin. All of the money I was making was earmarked for charitable causes. Etc.
Regards,
It is entirely possible that the main motivation for the GOPe in attacking Trump, is to protect Hillary. Her husband would have been removed from office if the establishment (RINO+DINO) had wanted him removed. She also stole numerous FBI files while she was copresident. Apparently she never thought to steal Trump’s.
What nobody has been pointing out is that Hillary is one of several people appointed to determine what communications were classified. She didn’t have to see any markings to know what she was sending was classified, she knew it from the beginning.
None of the stuffed suits on the news are pointing this out, apparently very few people at home actually realize it, I haven’t seen anyone making this point here or any other forum I’ve visited.
She’s lying plain and simple. As usual.
I’m not sure what kind of distinction you’re trying to make,’but nothing is moarked “classified”. Materials are marked with their classification level (e.g. Confidential, Secret, Top Secret etc.)
If she hadn’t married Bill, she’d be that overbearing, self-important shrew in some garden club somewhere. The one that everyone hates.
Unless they’re complete shills for the Democrats, FBI people working this case must just seethe when they hear this woman’s BS.
