After a scathing criticism by the IG for her use of a private server and email address, Hillary said the report was insignificant and “nothing has changed.”
Hillary Clinton waited more than 24 hours before responding to a scathing criticism by the State Department’s Inspector General which accused her of breaking the department’s rules in her use of a private server and email address.
The IG report said Clinton did not have permission to use a private server and had she asked, her request would have been denied. The IG was also harshly critical of her because she took 22 months to turn over her emails to the department after she resigned as Secretary of State.
“At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act,” the report said.
Clinton said the report was insignificant and complained that it was made without her input even though she and her aides refused to be interviewed by the State Department’s watchdog agency.
Hillary told reporters that she had been questioned by the Benghazi committee for 11 hours and had posted information about the emails on her website. She suggested that was all that was necessary because “nothing has changed.”
Clinton cherry-picked one part of the report to come up with a lame excuse. Ignoring the IG’s scathing criticism, she said: “This report makes clear that personal email use was the practice for other secretaries of state. It's the same story. Just like previous secretaries of state, I used a personal email. Many people did. It was not at all unprecedented. I have turned over all my emails. No one else can say that.”
I’m surprised she didn’t claim that the IG report was part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.
For those of you whose hopes have suddenly been revived that crooked Hillary will yet be indicted, I say get real! It ain’t about to happen under the Obama administration.

She will continue to so claim until she is either indicted or pardoned. That is the Clinton way. You lie, obfuscate and deny right until the end. So far, it has worked for them. How many current voters know that Bill was impeached and disbarred for perjury?
