AP FACT CHECK: Clinton misstates key facts in email episode
AP ^ | May 27, 2016 | LISA LERER and CATHERINE LUCEY

Posted on 05/27/2016 11:33:20 AM PDT by McGruff

Over the months, Hillary Clinton misstated key facts about her use of private email and her own server for her work as secretary of state, the department's inspector general reported this week.

According to the findings, she claimed approval she didn't have and declined to be interviewed for the report despite saying "I'm more than ready to talk to anybody anytime." Scrutiny of her unusual email practices appeared to be unwelcome, despite her contention those practices were well known and "fully above board."

A look at some of Clinton's past claims about her unusual email set-up and how they compare with the inspector general's findings:

CLINTON: "The system we used was set up for President Clinton's office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches." — March 2015 press conference.

THE REPORT: Evidence emerged of hacking attempts, though it's unclear whether they were successful....[more at link]

A misstatement is when you say, "It's great to be in Chicago", when you're really in Detroit, and really just don't know where you're at.

When Hillary is talking about her email server, she is being deliberately misleading for a selfish reason-to cover up her malfeasance. That is not a misstatement- that is an outright lie.

Why all of a sudden is there media scrutiny? They have been covering for her for YEARS, but now they want to get serious?

This is far from "scrutiny". This is their effort to downplay the whole thing. She "misstated the facts". She was "confused". "She didn't know how to use a computer". Etc.

The media knows damn well she traded in national security so she could do her four year crime spree without scrutiny. They know she's lying every step of the way. They know Obama is lying about it. They know the whole administration is totally corrupt.

The media can't keep this bottled up any longer, so the next approach is to make it appear as if she simply goofed up a little on minor things like the handling of her emails.

After all, America has the worst record of any country in the world when it comes to treating women... and Hillary is the only one who can fix that!

The Democrats are looking at the FBI investigation.

The Democrat leaders are scared to death of what Hillary might have done.

If there’s even one Democrat in the FBI team investigating her, then the Democrats will know what’s going on.

They may already know she’s heading for jail.

For one thing, the media want good TV at both conventions, not just Cleveland. Trump will give them good TV even though he’s clinched it. But Hillary won’t if it’s a coronation. Boring! So they want to promote Bernie, not only for the drama, not only for the street theater, but they figure maybe they’ll even get him nominated. They know Hillary is a loser against Trump.

Hi.

In summary, I’d already be in jail.

Rule of law for me, not for the.

Our “elite” have become king George III.

“What’s going on here?”

Hillary is no longer trouncing Trump in the polls. Dems sh***ing in their pants. They need to find someone else who they think can win.

So what’s the angle being worked here?

They want her to get away with her crimes with just a "strongly worded letter" and this is one of them, probably the only one from the AP.

In other words, Hillary is a lying skank with the integrity and intentions of a criminal psychopath.

So, aside from that well known fact, what else is new that her worshipful followers will continue to like??

Fortunately, Putin believes her and accepted the Reset Button Gambit to the mutual benefit of both nations

(since he had her email, he knew she was lying but played along)

I think that something more is going on. My hunch is the press is turning on her because they are being told to turn on her. The groundwork is being laid.

“It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches”

Yet some unknown hacker from Eastern Europe was able to walk right in the back door.

I thing you’re right. Obola is becoming very afraid that she’ll lose, since he can’t pardon himself and needs a DemonCrap POTUS to do it. Thus, he’s working himself up to giving her and Slick an offer they can’t refuse: drop out now for “health” reasons and be assured pardons or stay in and be indicted. Unless the Clintons are suicidal and actually are willing to run a MAD scenario with the Obolas, chances are they’ll accept that offer.

The press is really pushing for a Bernie win in the primaries, because they fear that Hillary will lose to Trump. I love it. Need more popcorn.

AP to the rescue - her lies are now “misstatements”.

They have access to the same info we do. Hillary’s criminality has gotten to the point that the children (millennials) recognize she’s a liar (isn’t wearing clothes). The fact that Sanders has been regularly eating her lunch in the primaries and has come from being down by double digits to being almost even with Hillary in Kalifornia has quite a few supporters thinking whiskey tango foxtrot.

Comey shoving the security review mantra up her butt in a special presser didn’t help her either.

Karma finally got around to the Clintons and it ain’t going to be pretty in this lifetime much less the afterlife.
