Hillary Clinton Takes ‘Responsibility’ for Email Use, Saying It ‘Wasn’t the
Best Choice’
<http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/08/26/hillary-clinton-takes-responsibility-for-email-use-saying-it-wasnt-the-best-choice/>

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she understood why people had
questions about her decision to use only private email while she was
secretary of state and that she took responsibility for that decision, a
shift from her past remarks about an issue that has dogged her since
shortly before she began her presidential campaign.

Her remarks, made during a campaign stop in Iowa, came as Mrs. Clinton has
faced criticism for making light of an issue that Democrats fear has become
an albatross. “What, like with a cloth or something?” she said to a Fox
News reporter last week who had asked whether she had “wiped,” or erased,
her email server before turning it over to the F.B.I. recently.

“I know people have raised questions about my email use as secretary of
state, and I understand why,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday. “I get it.
So here’s what I want the American people to know: My use of personal email
was allowed by the State Department. It clearly wasn’t the best choice. I
should’ve used two emails: one personal, one for work.”

She added: “I take responsibility for that decision, and I want to be as
transparent as possible, which is why I turned over 55,000 pages, why I’ve
turned over my server, why I’ve agreed to — in fact, been asking to — and
have finally gotten a date to testify before a congressional committee in
October.”

“I’m confident that this process will prove that I never sent, nor
received, any email that was marked classified,” she said.

The inspector general for the nation’s intelligence agencies found that
four emails out of a random sample of 40 of the tens of thousands on her
server contained information that was classified, although it wasn’t marked
that way at the time.

Mrs. Clinton’s team has pointed to the subjective nature of the
classification rules used by different federal agencies. Nonetheless, the
topic has been a drag on her ratings in some polls.

She added that she was “going to keep talking about what the American
people talk to me about, what’s on their minds, and to lay out my plans for
what I would do as president to make the economy work for everybody, to
make college affordable, to get the cost of drugs down, to get equal
pay for equal work for women, and the whole suite of issues that I
think are really at the core of this presidential campaign.”
