Clinton bemoans ‘drip, drip, drip’ of email news

By Jonathan Easley

 

Hillary Clinton acknowledged in a Sunday interview that she’s been politically damaged by the “drip, drip, drip” of controversy surrounding her use of a personal email account and server as secretary of State.

 

“It is like a drip, drip, drip. That’s why I’ve said there’s only so much I can control,” Clinton said in an interview with Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“What I have tried to do in explaining this is provide more transparency and more information than anyone who I am aware of who has ever served in the government, and I’m happy to do that because I want these questions to be answered.”

While Democrats have been frustrated by the drawn-out controversy over the emails, and Clinton’s inability to get out in front on the issue, the former secretary of State insisted she’s done all she can to put the matter to rest.

“I have done all that I can to take responsibility, to be as transparent as possible in turning over 55,000 pages [of emails], in turning over my server, and to testify on Oct. 22, which I’ve been asking to do before Congress," Clinton said.

Clinton has been dogged by the email controversy for months now, and it’s taken a toll on her polling numbers.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) has surpassed Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first to states to cast ballots in the Democratic presidential nominating process.

Furthermore, a strong majority of voters say that they don’t believe Clinton to be honest or trustworthy.

On Sunday, Clinton reiterated that she regrets her decision to use a private email account and server, saying it was a matter of convenience. Clinton said the decision came during a “transition period” and that she was never “that focused on my email account.”

Clinton explained that the email system she used was part of her husband, former President Bill Clinton’s personal office, so it was up and running in their home and she simply adopted it when she became secretary of State.

“It was sitting there in the basement,” Clinton said. “It was not any trouble at all. I know a lot of people are questioning that, but the fact is that it was there and I added my account to it. “

Clinton dismissed the notion that she set up the private account and server to make it more difficult for her government officials or her political enemies to gather information on her record as she seeks the White House.

“That’s totally ridiculous, that never crossed my mind,” Clinton said.

Clinton said she has complied with all State Department and congressional requests for documentation since then by requesting the release of 55,000 pages of emails, turning over her work-related emails and server for review, and requesting the opportunity to testify before Congress.


But she also swiped at Republicans, who she said have been harassing her and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, for years.

“During the 90s, there were a bunch of [conspiracy theories], all of them turned out to be not true,” Clinton said. “That was the outcome. When I ran for Senate, the voters of New York overlooked all of that and looked at my record and looked at what I would do for them, and I was elected senator after going through years of this kind of back and forth. It’s regrettable but it’s part of the system.”

Still, the drip of news continues.

Last week, new emails surfaced that show Clinton corresponding with Gen. David Petraeus, raising questions about whether some of the emails she and her staff deemed personal might have been work-related.

“Everything we had access to was certainly out there and the reason we know about the email chain from General Petraeus was because it was on a government server,” Clinton explained.

“So from my perspective we have a very thorough review process that we conducted and my attorneys supervised it and went through everything, and what we had available at the time was turned over.”

Anchor Chuck Todd gave the Clinton the opportunity on several occasions to tell nervous Democrats that the drip of bad news was over, but Clinton said she has no control over “what kind of charges or claims” Republicans might make next.

“I want these questions to be answered," Clinton said. "I can’t [predict to you what Republicans will come up with, what kind of charges or claims they might make. I have no control over that. I can only do the best that I can to try and respond.”

“Like I said, back in the 90s I was subjected to the same kind of barrage, and it seemed to be at the time endless," Clinton continued. "And then when I ran for the Senate, people said, hey we’re more concerned about what you’re going to do for us, and I trust the voters to make that decision this time too.”

Jeb: We’re ‘going to miss’ Boehner

By Bradford Richardson

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) says Americans will miss outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

“I admire John Boehner greatly, he’s a great public servant,” the GOP presidential candidate said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“He left at the apex of his time in service to the country with the pope speaking in Congress. I think people are going to miss him in the long run because he’s a person that is focused on solving problems.”

Bush declined to say whether he thought the move was good our bad for Republicans, saying the party needs to focus on winning the presidency if Republicans want to pass conservative legislation.

“I think what we need is a conservative president that can work with Congress,” he said. “We wouldn’t have these problems if we had a president that actually would commit to passing a budget, would commit to repealing ObamaCare.”

Boehner had a contentious relationship with the right wing of the House GOP, which was mounting a challenge to his leadership position.

The Speaker on Friday announced that he would retire, one day after Pope Francis addressed a joint session of Congress. The pope’s visit was a crowning achievement for the Catholic congressman, who had been trying to orchestrate the event for over 20 years.

VIDEO=> John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz a Jackass on the Way Out the...

Speaker John Boehner joined John Dickerson on Face the Nation Sunday to discuss his announcement Friday that he would be stepping down as Speaker and leaving Congress.

John Dickerson: Is Ted Cruz a false prophet?

John Boehner: Listen, you can pick a lot of names out, I’ll let you choose them.

John Dickerson: You don’t debate that assertion?

John Boehner: I’ll refer you to my remark at a fundraiser I made in August at Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

In August at a fundraiser in Colorado Boehner called Ted Cruz a “jackass.”

Nice parting shot, John.

Gingrich: 'McCarthy will be the next Speaker'

By Bradford Richardson

 

Greg Nash

Newt Gingrich is confident House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will succeed Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) who is he retiring in October.

Gingrich, who served as Speaker from 1995 to 1999, said McCarthy has broad appeal among Republicans in the lower chamber.

“I think it’s very hard to replace him at this point,” Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 in New York on Sunday.

 

“He’s a very bright, capable guy. He was the leader in the California assembly for the Republicans, he has been rising steadily, and he’s very widely liked and very widely accepted."

McCarthy has not announced his intention to run for the Speakership, but the GOP leader is widely considered the favorite to succeed Boehner.

Some members of the House Freedom Caucus, a group of 40 to 50 hardline conservatives, have raised questions about McCarthy’s conservative bona fides.

Gingrich said he does not think the group will be able to prevent McCarthy from becoming speaker.

"I think what they’re going to discover is that they have enough votes to be very noisy, but they don’t have enough votes to win," he said.

Gingrich also talked about his impression of Boehner after the pope’s address to Congress on Thursday, saying he did not see his sudden retirement coming.

“We went by Boehner’s office afterwards, and I have to say I didn’t see it coming on,” he said. “I knew he was very tired and [Boehner’s wife] Debbie was very tired, and they were really sort of fed up with the constant attacks, but it had been such a great day for him, and he was so emotionally affected by the pope’s visit, which you could see on television, that I really didn’t pick it up.”

The 2012 Republican presidential candidate said the pope’s visit was the crowning achievement of Boehner’s tenure as Speaker.
“For Boehner, I think, he realized it would never get better than this,” Gingrich said. “And I think that’s part of why – he had been exhausted, he had been fighting a long battle with critics on the right, and I think he just decided, you know, enough’s enough.”

Boehner was widely criticized by conservatives during his tenure as Speaker.

[DeeDee]

No NEWT he is ESTABLISHMENT!  OH thats right SO ARE YOU!  Whatever Gingrich says do the opposite the last few years he has sure showed his RINO colors!

[Love of Country]

Yeah they are going to have all the RINO's pushing for him! They are going to try so they have someone as worthless a Boehner in there IMHO.

BREAKING: Top GOP Official Calls for McConnell’s Resignation as Senate Leader

Jim Hoft Sep 27th, 2015 6:03 pm 49 Comments

With the news Friday that John Boehner was resigning, Louisiana GOP Chairman has called for the resignation of Mitch McConnell as Senate leader.
The Washington Times reported:

With John Boehner now departing as House speaker, an influential Republican Party official is now seeking the ouster of another GOP leader who has frustrated conservatives: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“McConnell needs to resign!!” Louisiana GOP Chairman Roger Villere wrote in a Facebook posting.

He’s the longest-serving state GOP chairman in the nation, with 12 years on the job, and is the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee, the GOP’s national governing body. He also serves on the RNC’s executive committee that makes decisions alongside Chairman Reince Priebus.

Rubio: Leave me out of Trump's 'freak show'

By Mark Hensch

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in an interview broadcast early Monday that he wants no part of fellow GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s media circus.

“I’m not interested in the back-and-forth — to be a member or part of his freak show,” Rubio told host Steve Inskeep on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”

“I would just say this: He is a very sensitive person,” he added of Trump. “He doesn’t like to be criticized. He responds to criticism very poorly.”

Trump has set his sights on Rubio amid rising enthusiasm for the Florida lawmaker.

“He’s got the worst voting record in the United States Senate,” Trump said of Rubio on CNN’s “New Day” last week. “He’s never there, meaning he doesn’t work or he’s too lazy to go back and vote.”

“He shouldn’t even be running in this race, as far as I’m concerned,” Trump added. “He’s a kid.”

Trump remains the front-runner for next year’s Republican presidential coronation across multiple national polls.

His lead is shrinking, however, as other candidates gain more media attention and refine their own campaign messages.

Rubio presently places fourth in the GOP field with 9.6 percent voter support, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.
