Obama Tells ‘60 Minutes’ Hillary Clinton Made Email ‘Mistake’
Source: nyt
WASHINGTON President Obama on Sunday called Hillary Rodham Clintons use of a private email server a mistake, but said it had not endangered national security and had been ginned-up into a political attack by Republicans eager to keep her from being president.
Mr. Obama made the comments during an interview on CBSs 60 Minutes program in which he also defended his policy in Syria during a lengthy, contentious exchange with Steve Kroft, a veteran correspondent.
Mrs. Clintons use of the email server during her tenure as secretary of state has become the centerpiece of Republican-led investigations into the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. She is certain to face questions about the emails during Tuesdays Democratic presidential debate and later this month when she is set to appear before a House committee. In the interview, which was taped Tuesday and broadcast Sunday evening, Mr. Obama called those questions legitimate and said without directing the comments specifically at Mrs. Clinton that public officials in high office should know better.
As a general proposition, when were in these offices, we have to be more sensitive and stay as far away from the line as possible when it comes to how we handle information, how we handle our own personal data, Mr. Obama said. And, you know, she made a mistake. She has acknowledged it.

If there are emails about any of this stuff on that server, Hillary is cooked.

(14,174 posts)Because its a way the MSM can deflect from actual issues, where Bernie can win, and onto these faux scandals. Yes, she probably did something wrong with regards to her email accounts. Is that really an issue that would make someone unfit for leadership? It is not something (like a long record) that cannot be rectified going forward. I suspect it was probably some staff member that gave her bad advice regardless.
