Hillary Clinton's Credibility Crashes
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Hillary Clinton's attempt yesterday to quash the brewing scandal over her State Department emails failed miserably. She has obviously retained at least one bad habit from her time in the Obama Administration -- tardiness. Her press conference started an hour late.
Her surreal press conference took place with the backdrop of the United Nations. The first question went to a reporter from Turkey who asked if Hillary would be going through this if she were a man.
What an absurd question! This has nothing to do with her sex. There is an ongoing congressional investigation into the deaths of four Americans and we are still trying to find out what the former secretary of state knew about the Benghazi attacks.
Instead of burying the story, Hillary resuscitated it with the news that she deleted tens of thousands of messages. She insisted she had nothing to hide, yet she also insisted that the server will remain hidden.
There were numerous inconsistencies in her remarks. For example:
As I listened to Hillary's statement and her handling of questions, her response started to sound a lot like, "I did not have Internet relations with that server!" In short, Clinton's credibility just crashed.
Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House select committee investigating the Benghazi attacks, upped the ante yesterday after watching Clinton's press conference. Gowdy told CNN that he is going after the private email accounts of Clinton's top aides at the State Department, including Cheryl Mills, her former chief of staff, Jake Sullivan, then-deputy chief of staff, and Huma Abedin, Hillary's long-time confidant.
Gowdy said, "We are going to seek any private email that relates to official business, and I don't care about wedding cakes. But any work that could have been done on private-to-private accounts for those State Department employees we know had private accounts." Good for him!

"I did not have Internet relations with that server!" (Yes, Hillary "blue dress" is a favorite of Bill Clinton.) |

There were numerous inconsistencies in her remarks. For example:
- Hillary deleted personal emails between her and husband Bill. "No one wants their personal emails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy," Hillary said. But a spokesman for the former president said Sunday that Bill Clinton has sent only two emails in his entire life, both during his presidency. Either Bill or Hillary is not telling the truth. Sounds familiar.
- Hillary said that she used the personal account because she didn't want to carry two devices. But at an event in Silicon Valley two weeks ago, the woman who deleted thousands of personal messages and who couldn't be bothered to carry two devices said: "I don't throw anything away. I'm like two steps short of a hoarder. So I have an iPad, a mini iPad, an iPhone and a Blackberry."
