United States News Title: Hillary Clinton on email controversy, public trust and more, from AP interview Here are some other highlights from the interview. ___ Q: Why haven't you directly apologized for setting up and using a private email server as secretary of state? A: "Well, I understand why people have questions and I'm trying to answer as many of those in as many different settings as I can. What I did was allowed by the State Department. It was fully above board. Everybody in the government with whom I emailed knew that I was using a personal email, and I have said it would have been a better choice to have had two separate email accounts. And I've also tried to not only take responsibility, because it was my decision, but to be as transparent as possible." ___ Q: Has the email issue damaged your campaign? For example, in terms of morale among staff or in fundraising or getting your message to voters. A: "No. Not at all. It's a distraction, certainly. But it hasn't in any way affected the plan for our campaign, the efforts we're making to organize here in Iowa and elsewhere in the country. And I still feel very confident about the organization and the message that my campaign is putting out." ___ Q: What has this distraction meant for you this summer? A: "As the person who has been at the center of it, not very much. I have worked really hard this summer, sticking to my game plan about how I wanted to sort of reintroduce myself to the American people. How I wanted to listen and learn what was on the minds of Iowans. And I feel very good." ___ Q: What's you're reaction to voters who say they don't trust you? A: "Well, I don't like to hear that. But I believe by the end of this campaign the American people will know that I'm the person running for president who wants to be not only the president on the big issues that are in the headlines, but the president to really work on all of those personal concerns like I heard in Newton yesterday that keep people up at night." ___ Q: You have been critical in the past of politically motivated investigations. Has the Select Committee on Benghazi devolved in such a way? A: "Well, the American public will have to determine that. There have been seven previous investigations that were conducted by congressional committees. Of course, there was the independent accountability review board that was conducted by leading Americans with expertise in intelligence, diplomacy (and) the military. "They all said that there were changes that needed to be made, which I fully embraced as the outgoing secretary of state. And I testified before both the Senate and the House. This committee has now gone longer and spent, I'm told, more money than the Warren Commission on President Kennedy's assassination and many other investigations. I'll let the American people draw their own conclusion." ___ Q: As a candidate with deep experience in Washington, how do you make your case to voters who are interested in an 'outsider' candidate, such as a Donald Trump or Ben Carson? A: "That's what the campaign is for. That's what we're going to be doing in the next months. We have some months to go before the caucus on Feb. 1, and we have debates and there will be other opportunities to lay out what I will do as president. "I was endorsed on Saturday by (Sen.) Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, and the press asked her, 'Well, you're endorsing her and there's been a lot of information that one of the other candidates is doing very well and people are interested in outsiders.' Its a laff a minute with Hillary defending herself. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 2.
#2. To: buckeroo (#0)
A rhinocerous' hide is paper compared to Hillary's. Her skin is as thick as an Ankylosaurus. She doesn't care. She's just going to bull forward no matter what. She's not going to be derailed by "distractions", or criminal charges. She's going to press ahead to victory...unless someone STOPS her. The someone to do the stopping is Donald Trump, on the Republican side. But the someone who WILL stop her is Barack Obama.
