Hillary backtracks on email mess being an error

[cali]

CUOMO: You’re willing to say it was an error in judgment, you should’ve apologized…

CLINTON: No. I’m not willing to say it was an error in judgment because what — nothing that I did was wrong. It was not — it was not in any way prohibited. And so…

CUOMO: Not apologizing sooner I mean.

CLINTON: Well, apologizing sooner, as soon as you can. But part of the problem, and I would just say this as, not an excuse but just as an explanation. When you’re facing something like that, you got to get the facts. And it takes time to get the facts. And so when I said, hey, take all my emails, make them public. That had never been done before, ever, by anybody. And so we’ve been sorting our way through this because it is kind of a unique situation.

I’m happy people are looking at the emails. Some of them are you know, frankly, a little embarrassing…

(LAUGHTER)

You know. You find out that sometimes I’m not the best on technology and things like that. But, look, I think it’s great. Let people sort them through. And as we have seen, there is a lot of — you know, a lot of interest. But it’s something that took time to get done.

In September she said it was a mistake and that she should have used two accounts. She said she was sorry and took responsibility for it.


Hillary Clinton on Private Email: ‘That Was a Mistake. I’m Sorry’

I know! A mistake isn't the same thing as an error!

1. This is so in character and so very Clintonian

2. "Some of them are you know, frankly, a little embarrassing…"

Yeah, I'd definitely be embarrassed if I had the temerity to flout the regulations for dealing with high-classification email. Triply so if the place I put 'em wasn't air-gapped or didn't have any kind of counter-intrusion measures.

3. Just play acting another scene in the Clinton Theater Playhouse...

Wardrobe change call...........next!

4. "It depends on what the definition of 'is' is."

So like Bill.

5. "You know. You find out that sometimes I’m not the best on technology and things like that."

Utter bullshit.

It's not technology that Hillary has an issue with. She would leave that up to her tech people. So not only is that disingenuous, but it is a well-hidden lie.

The bigger problem is she thought that the rules didn't apply to her...that they are for us proles to observe.

She guessed wrong.

8. Yep, it's a wholly irrelevant ploy for sympathy and no excuse

6. totally Clintonesque

On another note:

Even the NY Times notes Hillary's plastic, ever-morphing, finger-to-the-wind persona:

Mrs. Clinton emerged from the cloistered world of Foggy Bottom and arrived on the campaign trail more detached and protected, in layers of security and staff, than she was eight years earlier.

Asked last fall why Mrs. Clinton was not running the way she did when she was losing in 2008, her communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, would reply matter of factly: “Because she’s not losing.”
But in the last week, something shifted, as Mrs. Clinton faced sagging poll numbers and the reality that she could endure another loss in the caucuses, this time to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

On Thursday, when the microphone cut off and Katy Perry’s “Roar” blared from the speakers at a skating rink in Vinton, Iowa, Mrs. Clinton yelled over the music: “I will spend my time here going down the line,” she said. “I will answer anybody’s questions about anything because I really want you to know where I stand on all these issues.”

She then displayed a breezy, agreeable manner ....

Hillary Clinton, Battling in Iowa, Turns Warm Under Pressure

DAVENPORT, Iowa — At big ballroom dinners on the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton often emerges from behind a curtain to deliver a speech, then disappears again behind the folds when finished. But

7. The Clintonistas poo-poo on all email stories, but they do so at all of our expense.

This is going to hurt her, and us if she is the nominee. I simply cannot understand how her supporters act like there is not there there, when the FBI has been investigating for 6 months. Get a fucking clue people.

The FBI is not concerned about what she watches on tv or whether she is adept with her devices. There is a reason her IT invoked his 5th Amendment rights. His attorney realized he was at risk for criminal liability.

9. The infallible Hillary.
