Clinton, 67, had earlier declined to express remorse for the controversy that has rocked her presidential campaign, inviting criticism from her rivals.

She takes responsibility – sort of.
“As a mother and a grandmother, my heart breaks for the family of Dontre Hamilton”, Clinton said. “Those emails disappear all by themselves”.
The filing came in response to legal action filed by Judicial Watch, a conservative monitoring group that wants access to all of Mrs Clinton’s e-mails while she was the top United States diplomat.
“Like what, with a cloth?”
she said, adding, “I don’t know how it works digitally at all“.
Walker thinks “he’s some kind of tough guy on his motorcycle”, Clinton said at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, alluding to Walker’s well-known love of Harley Davidson – even though that company has a strong relationship with labor.
After a series of “I’m sorry if people were offended” non-apologies, Clinton finally delivered the no-frills version in an interview with ABC’s David Muir this past week.
“Because personal records are not subject to [the Freedom of Information Act], and State Department employees may delete messages they deem in their own discretion to be personal, plaintiff’s preservation argument reduces to an unsupported allegation that former Secretary Clinton might have mistakenly or intentionally deleted responsive agency records rather than personal records”, Mizer and Shapiro argued. “I take responsibly for that”.
“It is way past time that we enforce the law and do everything we can do to make sure every person, women or man, gets paid fairly and equally for their time”, Clinton said. “It was a mistake and I need to do better in the future”. “I thought using one device would be simpler, and obviously, it hasn’t worked out that way”. I certainly did. She is very smart.
“The video purports to show an undercover Project Veritas journalist recording the campaign staffers discussing how during voter registration drives they openly endorsed Clinton and the Democratic Party”.
Clinton said she supported Planned Parenthood’s work providing cancer screenings, birth control and HIV tests.
She has said that she sent and received about 60,000 emails during her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were personal and deleted. During her tenure from 2009 to 2013, there were approximately 60,000 emails.
As such, the attorneys state, “there is no question” that Clinton was legally permitted to delete correspondence she considered personal. When that statement proved to be untrue, she changed it to not sending or receiving any material marked classified. “There is no classified material“.
This story was updated at 2:30 p.m. But she was the filter.
Clinton took aim at her Republican rivals over their economic policies, calling them “out of touch”. Future document releases will include emails from this time period. That’s unclear at this point.
Mrs Clinton is scheduled to testify on October 22 before a Republican-led House panel investigating the deadly 2012 attack on the USA mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
Although the controversial O’Keefe has plenty of detractors for his particular brand of journalism, his Project Veritas team, which mostly specializes in undercover videos, has done its share of investigative reporting into corrupt or fraudulent government practices, work which seems to be generally falling out of favor in the mainstream or legacy media.
