‘Enough is
Enough’: Feinstein Unequivocally Defends Clinton, Urges Media to Drop Email
Controversy
May. 29, 2016 12:09pm Carly Hoilman
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) once again urged
critics of Hillary
Clinton to drop the discussion
surrounding the former secretary of state’s email controversy and instead focus
on the “major problems” the country’s next president will have to address.
“This goes on and on and on. We’re reaching the final
stages of a primary,” Feinstein said on ABC’s “This Week” in an interview that aired Sunday.
“Hillary Clinton is going to win this primary. I say
enough is enough. Let’s get to the major problems facing this nation,” the
Democratic leader said, adding later, “I don’t believe she was trying to hide
anything.”
Last week an internal watchdog released
a report to Capitol Hill that stated Clinton and her senior aides
didn’t comply with the State Department’s policies for record keeping. According
to the report, Clinton never requested permission to use a personal email
server, and it “would not” have been approved because of “the security risks in
doing so.”
“I think this is a woman who wants a little bit of a
private life,” Feinstein, who endorsed Clinton, said on “This Week.” “She wants
to be able to communicate with husband, with daughter, with friends and not
have somebody looking over her shoulder into her emails.”
She also stressed that from what she can see, the
front-runner hasn’t broken any law.
“I read all 42 pages of the report. The conclusion of the
report does not say that. What it says is that the department does not handle
these electronic platform operations well and needs to do better,” Feinstein
said.
Feinstein also noted that Clinton herself has
acknowledged her mistake and would have done things differently a second time
around.
“I mean, what do people want?” Feinstein asked, adding
later, “Having said that, it is what it is and, you know, I don’t think we
should make a federal case over it.”
