"In an interview with Univision's Los Angeles affiliate, Clinton said "nothing has changed" following Wednesday's release of a report by the State Department's inspector general. That analysis found Clinton ignored clear guidance that her email setup broke agency rules and could have left government secrets vulnerable to hackers.
"There may be reports that come out, but nothing has changed," Clinton said. "It's the same story. Just like previous secretaries of state, I used a personal email. Many people did. It was not at all unprecedented. I have turned over all my emails. No one else can say that."
Clinton added that she had been "incredibly open" about her emails, which were routed through a server located in the basement of her New York home during her tenure as the nation's top diplomate from 2009 to 2013."

The rules were so old and too hard to follow...
Everyone else did it...
Nothing to see here...
I think that captures most of the spin on this. I could be wrong because Charlie Rose called it a "scathing" report that said the rules were clearly violated.

(23,664 posts)even Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell have apparently finally figured out that this is some serious shit, but Clinton is still claiming (1) its about emails, not an insecure homemade server (2) other people used unapproved servers (3) She turned over all her emails and (4) she's been incredibly open about the emails. All four of those statements are bullshit. And the public has figured that out.
At this point I think she's toast. She may be able to stall until the convention, but the republicans will not let this thing die. Obama may try to defuse the situation by overruling the FBI, but all that will do is make him part of the problem.

She really is not the brightest bulb in the box.

(643 posts)I mean, I really think it would take a guilty verdict before she considered dropping her run. Actually, no- she'd appeal first. And her supporters would follow her right over the cliff.
It's just so odd to me that one candidate has an almost spotless record and beats Clinton head to head on issues that matter (or used to matter) to Democrats, and yet the one that has the poorer record and is under investigation by the FBI is looking like the nominee. But hey, if this is the way the party wants to go, so be it. It's not the party that I once knew, that's for sure.

(35,015 posts)Hillary is the only one to set up her own email server and use it exclusively for her job, giving her full control of emails that did not belong to her. There is no audit trail - that's one of the biggest transgressions - we have to take her word that she turned everything over.
I don't understand why people can't grasp how serious that is.

read Drew Westen's "The Political Brain" to understand how this can occur

(10,164 posts)I realize your paymasters want you to at least get Bernie out of the picture before you crash and burn spectacularly, but so what? Your political career is history. You've collected as much from them as you're gonna get...and you're fabulously rich because of it. Know when to stop digging.

(6,007 posts)But that is NOT the issue. And she just keeps saying that. Is she delusional or does she believe people are that stupid?
