“I don’t think anything inappropriate was done”, Clinton said of her e-mail practices in an April 3 interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.

“The email use, in of itself, she says she did it for convenience”.
“I think it was very unwise of her to take the meeting, very unwise of him to seek the meeting”, said Arkansas Sen.
She laughed off the idea that her husband and the Attorney General discussed the Department of Justice’s review of her email probe.
Republicans have highlighted the issue to raise questions about Clinton’s trustworthiness and judgment, while Clinton has expressed regret over the email controversy.
But as the past week shows, the case is complicated. The couple had just landed.
A spokesperson said it was a voluntary interview. She continued the liberal media narrative that Bill meet with Lynch because he is a social guy.
Asked about the ongoing investigation, Lynch said Friday that she meant to accept the findings and recommendations of career prosecutors who have spent months on the case.
She said she set up the email address for reasons of convenience, because it was easier to do everything from her Blackberry than to have several phones or tablets.
Lynch announced Friday that she would rely on the recommendations of FBI investigators and career prosecutors to determine whether to press charges over the private server usage. “But obviously, no one wants to see any untoward conclusions drawn, and they said they would not do it again”.
Republicans have already used the tarmac meeting to cast doubt on the credibility of the investigation.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) called the step “unprecedented”, while Mrs Clinton’s expected opponent in the race for the White House, Mr Donald Trump, wasted little time before weighing in. Within the next two weeks or so, the expectation is there will be an announcement of no charges being brought against Clinton so long as no evidence of wrongdoing emerges from her interview with the FBI, sources familiar with the investigation told CNN. “What she did was wrong!” “What Bill did was stupid!” he tweeted.
The Clinton campaign confirmed the interview, which took place at Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Washington and lasted more than three hours.
