CLEAR LAKE , Iowa — Hillary Clinton hammered away at Republicans for their Benghazi investigation and probes of her email practices on Friday night, arguing the GOP was playing politics and chasing conspiratorial fantasies.
During Iowa’s famous Wing Ding dinner in Clear Lake, the 2016 Democratic front-runner dismissed Republican concerns about the transparency of her email arrangement and said she’s already been exonerated by earlier investigations.

“Benghazi was a tragedy where four Americans died… but let’s be clear: Seven exhaustive investigations… have already debunked all of the conspiracy theories,” she said. “It’s not about email servers either. It’s about politics.”
Clinton even opened her speech with a taunt aimed at GOP theories that she intentionally deleted emails to hide something: “You may have seen I recently launched a Snapchat account. I love it: Those messages disappear all by themselves…”
The crowd exploded in applause.
Hill Republicans created the House Select Committee on Benghazi to probe the events that led up to the 2012 attack, an investigation increasingly focused on the former Secretary of State — particularly after news broke that she exclusively used a personal email for work and circumvented policies mandating official accounts for record-keeping purposes.
The FBI has opened a probe into her email arrangement after an inspector general found potential “top secret,” classified information on her unsecured, home-made system. This week she turned over her server to law enforcement officials, a server she said she wiped clean after turning over 35,000 official emails to the State Department for record-keeping purposes earlier this year.
Clinton told a room jam-packed with Democratic supporters that she’s turned over 55,000 pages worth of her emails, calling for them to be made public immediately; has handed in her server to the Justice Department; and has “been offering to answer [GOP] questions for months,” including coming to the Hill to testify.
“But here’s what I won’t do: I won’t get down in the mud with them… or dishonor the memories of those who died. I don’t pretend this isn’t about politics,” she said.
TOP SECRET//SI//TK//NOFORN
She does not need to get down in the mud. She is already drowning in it and pulling down all the democrats with her.
The problem is they've run their course and are no longer working anymore
Just think of how “historical” it would be if the Clintons become the first commie tag team to have both been impeached as president.
She hasn’t run to the black churches yet like Bubba did
In fairness, Kelly would be among the last
media types Hellary would confide in. Hate
her for doing to Trump what someone from
another network would do sooner or later
anyway, but try to remember that Kelly has
harassed even more liberal politicians than
Trump has donated to.
Are you insane?
Hillary must be very sure she will not be prosecuted to say these things. Is she right? Probably
Well, that's the optimistic scenario,
The way it usually goes for Hillary is thus:
I guess this means that she won’t be joining the little piggies on “The View” any time soon.
“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
― George Bernard Shaw
Refuse to get in the mud? Too late.
She’s getting desperate.
I think she meant "...out of the mud."
Makes more sense, she really enjoys the desolation there, where she literally doesn't need to provide an answer for anything.
Imagine; the smartest woman in the world, can't tell the difference between a classified email from a shopping list.
And the all time winner : It's a defined federal felony to destroy the means of storing official email; whether it's labeled "secret" or not; whether it's a federal server or not; whether you are ignorant of the law or not.
Good luck, co-president!
She knows she’ll get away with everything. She jokes about it. Just like Obama jokes about stuff like his birth certificate. It’s the democrat way of rubbing our noses in it.
I predict she will SINK HERSELF by the way she deals with what is currently happening.
looking at polls about her credibility it seems fewer and fewer are falling for it.
She would have to ooze up through multiple layers of slime to even reach the mud....
