 -- Coverage of Barney Frank Politico article suggesting that progressive
democrats should get behind HRC early rather than Bernie Sanders because a
long primary campaign will only erode the benefit Democrats are now poised
to reap from the Republicans’ free for all. Frank writes that he is
convinced that a prolonged pre-nomination debate about the authenticity of
HRC’s support for progressive policy stances will do more harm than good.
Chris Matthews notes that HRC leads Bernie Sanders by 49 points in a
national poll. Frank joins the show to discuss his article. Frank says HRC
has taken very strong progressive positions and he is afraid there are
people who are going to say that HRC is only doing it because Sanders
pushed her to, which he says is inaccurate, but that doesn’t mean people
won’t believe it. Says Republicans are boosting Bernie Sanders in a fight
against HRC. Frank says we know Republicans are going to greatly outspend
us and it’s not smart to force HRC into an expensive primary. Highlights
that HRC was a big liberal in the Clinton administration. Hardball

-- Coverage of Quinnipiac poll showing HRC trailing Bush, Walker, and
Rubio. Zerlina Maxwell comments saying HRC does well at small face-to-face
events with voters and that’s very important in Iowa. Says HRC came in
third in Iowa last time so she sees Iowa as a challenge but one she is
willing to tackle, which we can see by her going back again and again.
Adolfo Franco weighs in saying HRC has more to worry about with Bernie
Sanders than Republicans do with Donald Trump since HRC is not
likeable. Weekends

Rubio. Says a majority of voters in Iowa, Virginia, and Colorado do not see
HRC as honest or trustworthy. Mary Kissel weighs in saying the more you see
HRC the less you like her and she is scandal-ridden. Dorothy Rabinowitz
says HRC does not have political skills and no one likes to listen to her
speak. Jason Riley says the concern is that the scandal will only rise with
HRC. Kissel says HRC can’t maintain the bunker-like campaign forever. Riley
says the Democratic party is of two minds about HRC. The establishment
wants to rally around her while the grassroots are looking for an
alternative. The Journal Editorial Report

-- Commentary on Black Lives Matter issue and the 2016 democratic field.
Patrisse Cullors comments on the NetRoots conference and the disconnect of
Sanders and O’Malley at the conference. Says that within a day’s time, both
of them as well as HRC went back and made choices that were more in line
with what the movement was asking for. Says at this point they want to see
a real racial action agenda. Says they want candidates to call movement
leaders and have a conversation to build a full-fledged platform that is
about dealing with communities devastated by police brutality and mass
incarceration. Melissa Harris-Perry

-- Coverage of Donald Trump calling HRC’s handling of emails “criminal.”
Reporter says this comes after an investigator said at least 4 emails on
HRC’s private server had classified information, but says it is not clear
HRC knew the information was classified at the time. Clip of Trump saying
HRC is being protected by democratic prosecutors. Shows clip of HRC saying
she never sent or received classified information at the time it was sent
or received and what you’re seeing a typical discussion among various parts
of the government about what should be revealed. Mary Malone reports
further that the intelligence community reviewed the emails and found
classified information. Says the problem is that the State Department never
marked the emails as classified and HRC may not have known that it was.
Notes that HRC has said she will testify on the issue. CNN Newsroom Live

-- Coverage of the campaign’s response to email scandal. Reporter notes
that HRC addressed it on the campaign trail in Iowa saying she didn’t use
her personal email to send anything classified and it is all a
misunderstanding. Shows clip of HRC saying she never sent or received
classified information at the time it was sent or received and there has
been a lot of confusion. Reporter notes that the State Department did not
mark the information as classified, but other panelist counters that as
Secretary of State, HRC should have known which information was sensitive.
Panel says HRC had the new conference in March and said there was no
classified information, but now we are finding out there was. Says
inspector general reports are supposed to be private, but somehow we have
the information. Shows quote from Michael Goodwin speculating that Valerie
Jarrett was the leak. Other reporter says this allegation is ridiculous,
and it is more likely coming from HRC’s critics and people exaggerate
Jarrett’s feelings towards HRC and she sees HRC as the best person to carry
out Obama’s agenda. Fox and Friends Sunday

-- Coverage of HRC telling Iowa voters that she never sent or received
classified information on her personal email. Shows clip of HRC saying she
never sent or received classified information at the time it was sent or
received and there has been a lot of confusion. Stephen Collinson weighs in
saying the material HRC sent that might have been classified at the time
was not marked as such and may give her a way out. Says where this
controversy hurts her is that she is trying to talk policy and all the
media is focusing on is the issue of her character. Says this is something
that is going to hound her campaign through the primary. Jason Johnson says
this isn’t going to be a big deal for HRC because you would have to tell
voters why this is an issue. Says her appeal has never been honestly, but
her leadership ability, and those numbers are still very high. New Day

-- Coverage of HRC’s tax proposal. Shows clip of HRC talking about sliding
tax rates for capital gains. Panel comments on HRC’s plan. Charles Payne
says the whole plan is mind-boggling. Says the bottom line is the welfare
system has run out of money and the only place to get it is from corporate
America. Dagen McDowell says HRC is not only running for president, but CEO
of America because she is going to tell everyone how to invest their
money. Charlie
Gasparino says Larry Fink is the one who gave HRC these ideas about short
term investing. Says HRC can’t pick on private equity or Goldman because
they give her money, so she is picking on the smallest part of the Wall
Street apparatus. Adam Lashinsky agrees and says HRC is making an important
contribution to the policy debate. Says HRC says if you’re a trader, that’s
your job so it should be taxed like income. Gary Kaltbaum says this is
indicative of things to come under HRC, and the bottom line is taxes will
be higher. Cavuto on Business

-- Coverage of HRC lagging in polls in Iowa, Colorado, and Virginia. Says
Quinnipiac poll shows HRC with low favorability and trailing Bush, Rubio,
and Walker. Host talks about HRC’s honesty and trustworthiness numbers and
how the email controversy is going to impact those numbers. Lisa Lerer
weighs in saying HRC’s campaign says it will only reinforce people who
already dislike her and will never work for her, but Lerer says the danger
is it sets an early narrative like we saw happen to Mitt Romney. Notes that
every month there’s going to be another court-mandated spate of stories
which is bad for her. Shows clip of HRC saying she is confident that she
never sent or received any classified information and it’s all about her
desire to have transparency. Maeve Reston says every candidate at some
point deals with some kind of investigation. Nia-Malika Henderson says
HRC’s campaign framed it in such a way that the New York Times is attacking
them. Says they are tapping into the idea that voters don’t trust
politicians. Robert Costa says whenever an HRC issue emerges, we always
frame it in terms of the general, but it could be important for the primary
as well. Lerer says there are advantages to having a competitive primary
versus a coronation. Discussion moves to the Black Lives Matter movement
and Henderson says HRC is taking a different strategy to WJC who in 1992
said he wouldn’t be beholden to the African American community. Inside

from her private email account. Weekends with Alex Witt

-- Report of HRC talking about email controversy from the campaign trail.
Shows clip of HRC saying there is nothing contradicted in the facts she is
saying by anything that anyone else has said so far. Jamie Weinstein weighs
in saying the email scandal is detracting from HRC’s campaigning. Says that
the inspector generals’ report says that the information found in her
emails was deemed classified at the time, not later has HRC has claimed.
Says it is essentially about trust and we have seen that HRC’s trust
numbers are already low. Highlights Quinnipiac poll results. Says if he
were Joe Biden, he would be looking about that and thinking about joining
the race. Shows clip of HRC saying this is a typical disagreement in the
government about what should or shouldn’t be released. Weinstein says
people are not debating over what is or is not classified, but HRC is
trying to change the subject. American’s News Headquarters

-- Howard Dean weighs in on HRC email controversy. Says the New York Times
really screwed up and it’s the second time they’ve done that with one of
these stories. Says the facts are that there was never a request for a
criminal investigation and any classified information that was sent from
HRC’s private server was received by her unlabeled as classified. Says
there is no story there other than the most prominent newspaper in the
country really messing up. Dean wants to know why they screwed up. Says
this is the second time and thinks it’s a serious matter that they better
get to the bottom of. Shows clip of HRC saying what we’re seeing here is
people looking back and saying there should have been issues identified
with four or fewer emails. Alex Witt counters that those four emails came
from a sample of only 40 emails. Dean says what we know for sure is that
none of the emails were labeled classified, so there is no story. Dean says
he doesn’t know anything about the server or what’s on it, says it could be
problematic to have someone’s entire server be looked at by the opposition,
but there is no evidence that HRC has done anything wrong whatsoever. Says
this is exactly what happened when incorrect reports about Clinton
Foundation donors. Says Beghazi has been so beaten to death that every time
you say it it reminds the country that the MO of Republicans is to
obstruct. Says there is no downside to a public hearing, which he says she
was right to insist on. Dean comments on Quinnipiac polls and says these
polls don’t matter for another year. Weekends with Alex Witt
