Hillary Clinton's aides wanted her to apologize publicly for deleting thousands of emails and described her 'inability to show remorse' as a character problem. John Podesta, the chairman of her campaign, said he wanted the candidate to express remorse over the scandal but had trouble 'getting her there'. Emails written in August 2015 and released by Wikileaks on Saturday shared his exchange with another adviser on the subject.

'People hate her arrogant, like her down. It's a sexist context, but I think it's the truth. 'I see no downside in her actually just saying, look, I'm sorry. I think it will take so much air out of this.'
Tanden continued: 'I see no way of moving on until October otherwise.'
Podesta, who has taken aim at Wikileaks founder Julian Assange this week for publishing the emails, agreed in his response.
'Jen and I are in the same place. Trying to figure out how to get her there and best way to execute,' he said.
Clinton refused to apologize last year after it was revealed she had been using a private email account and server while she was Secretary of State.
On September 2, two weeks after Podesta and Tanden discussed trying to get her to apologize for it, she appeared on MSNBC and said while it wasn't 'the best choice', it had been 'allowed' by the State Department.
Days later she did apologize, telling ABC news: 'As I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts. That was a mistake. I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility.'
The FBI last year ordered her to hand over some 15,000 exchanges that were not included in a collection previously given to the State Department.
Clinton has maintained somewhat of a stubborn position on the issue ever since and even as recently as the second presidential debate on October 9 tried to brush off criticism on the subject from her opponent Donald Trump.
It isn’t her inability to communicate remorse, it’s her inability to feel remorse!
Read post #5 link.
Good grief! Frightening to realize the depth of evil and deceit this bunch of liberals can stoop too.
Hillary wouldn’t know how to apologize if it were James Comey biting her on her fat ass!
Bird-dogging is ONE thing... spoiling for a confrontation is something else!
Crooked Hillary. Crooked, crooked Hillary.
Other than that, forget it. She will never, ever apologize for anything.
She could lose Alaska to Russia in a nuclear war. Half the country could be reduced to a radioactive moonscape on her watch. She would not apologize for the least, tiniest detail of the mess.
Pseudo-intellectual psychopaths like her cannot apologize because (in their minds) they're never wrong.
The unnamed staffer “does not know whether these items were ever returned to the government upon Clinton’s departure from the State Department.”
‘described her ‘inability to show remorse’ as a character problem’
Yeah, a character problem common to SOCIOPATHS!
It’s not just her inability to feel remorse, it’s that she is actually a scumbag.
Merely feeling remorse about being such a sewer rat would not be much improvement, she has to really stop being a sewer rat. How is that possible for her?
They’re distancing themselves. There’s no work to be had within a losing presidential campaign.

One of the characteristics of -paths, psycho and socio, is the inability to feel remrse.
Conniving smarmy degenerates working for a chronic criminal chronic liar...what could possibly go wrong\?
