Clinton's extraordinary defense for not speaking to Inspector General about her secret server:

Hillary Clinton broke her silence today about a State Department Inspector General's report that was critical of her use of private server and email address.

Clinton told news networks that the report – created without her input after she and her State Department aides declined to be interviewed by the watchdog agency – was insignificant and 'nothing has changed.'


More than 24 hours after the release of the damning report Clinton finally spoke to reporters, telling ABC News that she didn't speak to the IG because she had already testified before the Benghazi committee – and she posted 'information' about the emails on her website.

Those moves, she suggested, should count.

Sorry, I already answered questions about a hit and run last month. That should be good. If you have questions about the bank, you can check my blog.

Where she said she wanted to avoid them going public. It might have happened last night but I heard it today. It didn't go well.

Senator Stevens went to jail for a Chair...Trafucant for a car rental...and Givernor Siegelman..even less.

This woman was Sec of State..with a "Foundation" that took in .....M I I L L I O N S....from foreigners who benefitted from Sec. of State decisions

It is so F.....n pathetic that we are debating how serious these offenses are ...and how willfully blind the populace is to the requisite purity ...being tossed out the window

She never sought approval, even though she claimed her server and e-mail practices were approved....and because of that, her claims of everything being "above board" are nothing but lies.

The rules, in place when she took office, were pretty clear, according to the IG, so anything she says has to be in the context of specific and explicit rules , probably etched in stone tablets and delivered to her via certified mail and verifying her receipt with video recordings, forbidding her private server.

to "I thought that I was fully complying with the rules"

I heard it on the news this morning. This, of course, conflicts with other parts of the report.

No, really. And if she did break the rules (or the law), she didn't mean to. But she didn't. Break the law. Or the rules, no matter what that mean old State Dept IG report said.

By the way, did you know that mortgage companies that defrauded both the borrowers and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are making the same excuse? So it turns out that we actually are prosecuting the people responsible for the 2008-09 Great Depression, but appeals court judges are overturning those convictions.

(This is how you know Clinton will skate, folks. It's all rigged. All of it. For them, and against us.)

And her website doesn't mention she was running her e-mail through her unauthorized server when it makes the comparison of her actions and Powells.
