Hillary Comes Clean About Emails: Rings False to Me

Well she is finally addressing about the own server email controversy.

Hillary Clinton broke her silence Tuesday on the scandal surrounding her use of a private, nongovernmental email address while she served as secretary of state, saying that it was "a matter of convenience," that she "thought it would be easier to carry just one device" and that it was allowed under the rules of the State Department.

Yeah she could have carried one device and just had two email accounts on it. Or carried a work Blackberry and a personal Blackberry like just about every other government official would have to do. That work device would contain Top Secret info on it and should not be touching anything at the home. I guess the rules don't apply to her. She might have breached national security as a "matter of convenience."

"Looking back, it would have been better if I had simply used a second email account and carried a second phone," Clinton said in a brief press conference at the United Nations after delivering a speech on women’s rights. "I thought using one device would be simpler, and obviously it hasn't worked out that way."

Yeah it was a simple matter to open a security breach for the sake of convenience.

Officials there said that Clinton provided some 55,000 pages of documents — a fraction of what exists and a statistic that reveals little about what she shared, what she withheld and why. Clinton said she withheld personal emails that she later deleted.

"I chose not to keep my private, personal emails — emails about things like planning Chelsea's wedding, my mother's funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends as well as yoga routines, family vacations," Clinton said. "No one wants their personal emails made public, and I think most people understand that."

Who knows what she actually deleted. Only Hillary knows if the email about yoga routines and the one about the Saudi donors doing pay for play at using the Clintons fundraising account was kept or deleted. Technically the kick-backs aren't State Department business and thus falls in the rubric of personal emails that she "didn't have to make public." This part is especially funny:

Clinton said she is confident that "there were no security breaches" and that she did not send classified material from her personal email account.

If she had any security background (or just common sense) she would not mixed State Department emails with her yoga routines in the first place. Let's let Mandiant or Palo Alto Networks sit down at that email server and make damn sure it was protected or not. My problem is not about her hiding the emails my problem is that they isn't a copy somewhere on a Red Chinese server right now.
