In Iowa, Clinton Calls Email Controversy 'Usual' Partisan Politics

Hillary Clinton reiterated her earlier remarks that she "did not send or receive emails marked 'classified' " on a private server used while she was secretary of state, calling the controversy over the subject the "usual" partisan politics.

Appearing at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines with former Sen. Tom Harkin, who endorsed her on Friday, Clinton said "the facts are the same as they have been from the beginning."

"I never sent or received any emails marked 'classified,' " she said, dismissing her accusers as engaging in "the usual politicization, if I just invented a word."

"We'll await the outcome of the email inquiry," she said.

The Democratic presidential candidate's remarks come as The New York Times, citing law enforcement and diplomatic officials, reports that FBI agents examining the email server Clinton turned over earlier this week "are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Mrs. Clinton's personal account."

The Times writes:

"State Department employees apparently circulated the emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011, and some were ultimately forwarded to Mrs. Clinton.

"They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information."

Asked about former Gov. Jeb Bush's remarks suggesting that the Obama administration was to blame for its timing on the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and the subsequent rise of the self-described Islamic State, Clinton said she found it "somewhat curious" that he is "doubling down on his brother's actions in Iraq" because the 2011 deadline for the withdrawal of troops was negotiated during the Bush administration.

"I don't know if he [Jeb] did not know that or if he just thought other people wouldn't know," Clinton said.

Irrelevant. The information in a file makes it classified, not the markings. More obfuscation for the slow-witted "progressives." (Sorry for being redundant.)

Exactly. A great many times, just the subject heading will classify a document.

This is the perfect example of the arrogance of power.

I don’t believe anything she says. She is a professional and well practiced liar and a disgusting person. Anyone that can’t see this is either deaf or intentionally blind to this garbage.

It is interesting to watch the progression of the language used by the Clinton camp...

March: no classified information
June: nothing classified at the time
August: nothing ‘marked’ classified

The response continues get more narrow as more and more information comes out. We are to the point that any single document with a marking or derivative mark will prove the lie.

This is the other side of the “I-did-not-have-sexual-relations-with-that-woman” coin. Hillary’s trying to play word games just like her husband did. Of course they weren’t marked “Classified” because you sent them without so marking them. Potatoe...Potaahtoe...

Whenever they use the phrase, “There is no evidence” it makes me want to scream.

"We'll await the outcome of the email inquiry," she said.

Every time hillary goes in front of the press, she always has those bulging eyes. This an obvious nervous sign of her trying to deflect guilt but also a sure sign that hillary has now become mentally unstable. And with her now being 70 years old, this phenomenon will only get worse.
