John Podesta:
Hillary Clinton ‘Has Taken Responsibility’ For Email ‘Mistake’
by Charlie Spiering 31 May 2016
Hillary Clinton
wants her email story in her rearview mirror, but thanks to a recent Inspector
General report and renewed media attention to the issue, she is still trying to
tamp down the idea that she broke the law.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta authored a memo to supporters reassuring them
that the e-mail scandal is over.
“The Secretary has once again acknowledged this was a
mistake,” Podesta writes in the memo obtained by Buzzfeed. “And she has
taken responsibility for that mistake – including in many interviews she’s done
since the report’s release.”
The brief memo rehashes all of the campaign talking
points, insisting that the rules on email were “clarified” after Clinton left
office. Podesta even reasserts the talking point that Clinton’s decision to use
a private server for her emails was merely a “convenient” decision, not done
out of secrecy. He writes she “would do it differently” if she could do it
again.
Podesta insists “there is no evidence of a breach” of
Clinton’s private emails server, even though the IG report reveals that it had
been attacked by hackers.
Again, Podesta tries to push the email questions to the
back of voters minds as they approach a general election campaign vs. Donald
Trump.
“While we understand the questions about Secretary
Clinton’s email practices, we are confident that voters will look at the full
picture of everything she has done throughout her career,” Podesta concluded.
“We have faith in the American people. They know we have to be focused on
solutions that will make a real difference in people’s lives.”
