Joe Scarborough to Clinton: 'Stop lying’ about emails
The Hill ^ | May 26, 2016, 09:49 am | Mark Hensch

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Thursday slammed Hillary Clinton, calling on the Democratic presidential front-runner to "stop lying" about her personal email account.

“It’s pretty remarkable,” he said on "Morning Joe" of Clinton’s response to a watchdog report that found Clinton and her top aides did not comply with policy while she served as secretary of State.

“I don’t understand why you put out a statement like that,” Scarborough added. "Stop lying, stop digging. “'I screwed up. I’m terribly sorry,'" he offered as alternate responses. "'I hope the American people will forgive me and I hope they will let us move on to the issues that matter.'”

The State Department’s Office of the Inspector General report said that Clinton circumnavigated policies designed to follow federal records laws by exclusively using a personal email address routed through a private server. Clinton might have jeopardized official secrets, it said, adding that she also never requested permission for the technology arrangement. The watchdog agency’s report said that a personal server in her New York home “would not” have gotten approval because of “the security risks in doing so.”

Clinton’s campaign on Wednesday dismissed the report.

“While political opponents of Hillary Clinton are sure to misrepresent this report for their own partisan purposes, in reality, the Inspector General documents just how consistent her email practices were with those of other Secretaries and senior officials at the State Department who also used personal email,” campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement.

“But as this report makes clear, Hillary Clinton’s use of personal email was not unique, and she took steps that went much further than others to appropriately preserve and release her records,” he added of the Democratic presidential front-runner.

Scarborough on Thursday said that the issue remains a major concern for her campaign.

She can’t stop lying. If Hillary does that she goes to prison guaranteed.

Force her to listen to her own campaign speeches/screeches 24/7 would be more effective than waterboarding.

“’I screwed up. I’m terribly sorry...”

First, Democrats in general, and the Clintons in particular never admit to being wrong about anything. They have learned the media will provide cover for anything they do. Even now the media is using the word “rule” instead of the correct term “law” since they rules were based on the law.

Second, as someone else pointed out she can not admit to this since it would be an admission of guilt. Any normal person would have already been arrested for what she has done.

Hillary is deceptive only when she tells the truth.

How many lies will Hillary tell to cover-up the marathon of illegalities and buck-raking she was engaged in?

<><> she first said she did not want the inconvenience of carrying two phones.

<><> she also said she not want a government account that might pull in nonwork matters.

<><> then she accused Republicans (or, even worse, the taxpayers) for wanting to rifle through her personal emails.

<><> now we learn, she was incompetent; not comfortable with using a computer to read email.

Yet she was savvy enough to opt for a private server and hired her personal IT man....for the express purpose of hiding the Clintons buck-raking.......payments for selling access to her decisions.

‘I hope the American people will forgive me and I hope they will let us move on to the issues that matter.’

Uh, Joe, compromising national security via the emails/server IS THE issue that matters.

"I'm terribly sorry", "It was a mistake","I did not intend for this to happen"---all BS and not acceptable.

Serious laws have been broken, security and Human assets compromised and treason may have occurred.

Hillary cannot be allowed to be the Leona Helmsley of politics--laws are for the little people.

She needs to go to jail,

Huh ? Hey Joe, no consequences ?
Hillary already said she “accepts responsibility”, whatever the hell that means.
