Just when you thought the e-mail story couldn’t get worse for Hillary Clinton …
Washington Post ^ | September 23, 2015 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 09/25/2015 2:09:35 AM PDT by lbryce

During an interview with ABC News, Hillary Clinton apologized for using a private e-mail server during her time as secretary or state. Here are past statements where the presidential hopeful neglected to take personal responsibility for the controversy. (The Washington Post) After several weeks of relative dormancy, the story of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server surged back into the news Tuesday night, with a trio of stories that suggest things are going to get worse before they get better (if they get better) for the former secretary of state's 2016 campaign.

Here's what we learned:

1. The State Department has, on the record, disputed Clinton's claim that her handing over of her e-mails was standard operating procedure, according to reporting from The Washington Post. In fact, State contacted Clinton in the summer of 2014 upon learning that she had exclusively used a private server to conduct business during her time as the nation's top diplomat. Asked about the discrepancy in Iowa on Tuesday night, Clinton told the Des Moines Register: "I don't know that. I can't answer that."

2. The FBI has succeeded in recovering work and personal e-mails from Clinton's server. That raises at least the possibility that the 50 percent of her e-mails that Clinton deleted as private could be combed through to ensure that the judgments made by her lawyers were the right ones.

“Bill and Hillary Clinton are the penicillin-resistant syphilis of our political system.”

Especially Bill, in more ways than one.

And it will gain traction this time because there are other Democratic candidates for news organizations to support.

The reason for the lib MSM covering Hillary’s email is it’s part of the Benghazi cover up.

They are trying to convince people the terrorist hacked into Hillary’s email and that is how they knew Stevens was going to be in Benghazi on 9/11/12.

If the truth about Benghazi comes out, Hillary and Obama arranged for Stevens to be there, not only will Hillary and Obama go down but also the dem party and their allies in the MSM.

It’s a matter of self preservation.

Biden won’t need alot of money. The press will feature his every movement 24/7. Then we will be subjected to constant barrage of “man of the people” stories, and train trips to Delaware every weekend, etc, etc...

Yep.

In 1991 with the R King video, the 1960s radical left/Weather Underground climbed out of the sewer and once again declared war on the US.

Instead of using domestic terrorist like was done before with failure they decided to use foreign terrorist.

What started out as a civil war in the US escalated to a protracted WWIII which we are in now and it is soon to go full hot.

Once again the radical left miscalculated and believed they could control the leaders of the people they enlisted to fight against us and if you control the leaders you can control the outcome.

They have lost control and they can’t control the outcome anymore.

with obammy and the clintoons sucking all the money from democrat coffers.
And as a result of obammy causing the dems to lose vast amounts of political elections,
It’s a wonder any demscare for either the clintoons or obammy and his wookie bitch.

“During an interview with ABC News, Hillary Clinton apologized for using a private e-mail server during her time as secretary or state.”

She never apologized for using a private server.

“I do think I could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier. I really didn’t perhaps appreciate the need to do that,” the democratic presidential candidate told Muir in an exclusive interview in New York City. “What I had done was allowed, it was above board. But in retrospect, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts. One for personal, one for work-related emails. That was a mistake. I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility.”

The whole FBI investigation thing is a ruse to get her off the hook. They will announce that “after months of investigation, we found no evidence of wrongdoing”. The fake seriousness with which the liberal media reports all of this is just to lend some credibility to the fake investigation.

Well friend it is time.

I do understand what that means but without a Great Awakening from the Lord we have no hope.

“If we know one thing about her, she ain’t going to take this happily. She is vengeful, petty and will not hesitate to sell ANYONE out. The half breed and the Wookie are letting hatred for the Clintons obscure this fact.”

This is a high-stakes turf war between the Chicago crime syndicate and the Arkansas machine. Right now Chi has the upper hand.

The Clintons have no desire to go quietly, but they may have no choice if they want to continue breathing. Hillary most certainly has the goods on Buckwheat, but she may not be able to use that leverage. The Chicago mob has exactly what they want in the White Hut right now, and they are not about to give that up without major blood in the streets.

Hillary has few choices, none of them good. She can try to fight it out, a fight she will undoubtedly lose, or she can find some way to bow out gracefully without losing too much face. Her best option with Obama is to cut a deal whereby she will take a fall and forget everything she has that would bring him down. In return she gets a pardon and doesn’t do any jail time. Slick isn’t investigated, so he would be completely off the hook. If they can’t find a way for Buckwheat to have a third term, Slow Joe will become Jarrett’s new puppet. All will slow down and the whole thing will be quickly be forgotten by the slow-minded Democrat voters.

I wish I could agree that she was “so beatable”.
But despite standing in raw sewage up to her neck I’m afraid she is still the odds on favorite.

The GOPe will surely screw this up once again. They will panic and resort to dirty tricks tactics to take out Trump. He of course will become furious and reneg on his promise to not go third-party. Just like her husband she will ascend to POTUS on a plurality (because, as Mitt Romney astutely pointed out, 47% of American voters would vote for a cocker spaniel that promised to continue the Free Sh*t Express)

it DEFINITELY could go the way you’re saying.

I’ve thought of that. Heck, i dont even trust that they dont still have a plan for Bush.

But with Boehner stepping down, maybe rinos will get the hint.

I agree with your posts.

I’m more of a 4831SC man myself.

Until Trump either wins the nomination or bows out completely, I’m afraid Hillary has every incentive to hang in on this race. By the skin of her teeth if necessary.

I have used 4831 but never tried the SC. Need to use up what I’ve got before getting more.

Read the article. Until I see the indictments it’s just a bunch of crap. We all know she is guilty as hell but nothing is going to happen. It’s all just one big joke. A US ambassador was killed and nothing is done. She sells government secrets and nothing is done. A decorated US General makes one mistake and he is tarred and feathered and run out of town. The sooner Obozo is gone the better this country will be.

In short, many on the Left want Hillary out because they all know she could be easily blackmailed by foreign governments—and that’s on top of the fact she isn’t that likeable in person (one Donald Trump knows this all too clearly with his connections to the New York City business community and local government, both of which have to deal with the Clintons since 2001).
