Albright: 'Nobody is going to die' from Clinton emails

Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while at the State Department will not kill anyone, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said Friday. But Donald Trump's rhetoric might, the Clinton ally suggested.

"She has said she made a mistake, and nobody is going to die as a result of anything that happened on emails," Albright told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day," after the host broached the multifaceted criticism and concerns about Clinton's foreign policy from opponents and supporters alike.

Cuomo referenced Clinton's use of private emails, along with the infamous failed reset with Russia and her role in orchestrating the nuclear deal with a hostile Iranian regime, a day after Albright's Democratic successor at Foggy Bottom delivered a blistering speech ripping Trump's foreign policy credentials.

"I am concerned about some of the statements that Donald Trump has made that are dangerous," Albright said. "On the issue of Russia, the fact that Donald Trump admires Putin is one of the reasons that I can't agree with a word he says because the reset takes two to reset."
Albright blamed Moscow for the reset's failure, remarking that Vladimir Putin "is the one that has made very aggressive moves against Ukraine and pushed Europe around, which is why we need a strong NATO."

"And the Iran nuclear deal has made it clear that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. That is positive. So I think people—these are very, very difficult and complicated issues that need to be explained. And I thought Secretary Clinton's speech went a long way to laying out what was a rational national security policy," she said. "And I would hope and I would be so happy to participate in this, is having really an in-depth discussion of the issues that are out there so that America will be safe. And that's what we need to talk about instead of name-calling, frankly."

Clinton can ask that money be donated to it as much as she wants, it is the CF Board that decides what to do with it.

3. I watched that, and was struck by Albright's glossing over of the State Dept's investigation report

on the basis of "she already said she made a mistake." The Clintons apparently think admitting a "mistake" wipes the record clean, based on their continual repetition of this. They are so generous when it comes to themselves.

You don't know that. When an SAP program is compromised people often die, stars sometimes go up on the CIA's lobby wall.

I don't know, and Mrs Albright doesn't know that for a fact yet either.
