Clinton held an event Monday evening inside a Capitol Hill hotel with 13 of the Senate’s 14 female Democrats, making Warren’s absence particularly glaring. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

“We’re honored to have 13 women Senators coming together to endorse and support Hillary Clinton”.
Warren has been openly critical of Clinton, criticizing the then-Senator in her book The Two Income Trap for not supporting a bankruptcy bill in 2003.
Sanders has attempted to play this to his advantage.
If this strikes you as implausible – the Democratic equivalent of the no-tax-hike pledge Republican candidates regularly impose on themselves – we agree.
Clinton’s backers are convinced she’ll come on board eventually. “They don’t have to participate in it, but I want them to understand that there has to be safe areas on the ground”, she said.
Despite lower marks than Sanders for handling the economy, Clinton has the support of 51 percent of likely caucus participants, with 42 percent for Sanders in the latest Quinnipiac poll released last week.
But as Warren’s colleagues spoke, she was out of sight and out of mind.
“I served proudly in President Obama’s cabinet and I’m running for president now to make sure every child has a chance to live up to his or her God-given potential. I will Keep all Confidential”, he wrote. “What’s our position?” she asked.
Later, after several congratulatory emails were exchanged among Clinton’s staff, political consultant Mark Penn sent an email to Clinton gently suggesting that perhaps it wasn’t wise to lose her temper in the hearing.
“I mean, that’s all- that would all be an extra, added part of it. But for me, I really love this country”, Clinton said.
Clinton acknowledged in March that she exclusively used a private email account and private server from 2009 to 2013 while secretary of state, opting against a government account despite official recommendations. The secretary of state seemed unable to recall whether she’d replied to a December 31, 2012 e-mail from Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who wished her a speedy recovery.
Following Shaheen, Sen. Amy Klobuchar joked she can see Iowa from her porch in neighboring Minnesota. Not sure how exactly but I know I can help. It’s titled Conversation with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Authorities have not accused Clinton of any wrongdoing, but Republicans have been very critical of her email practices. “We’re going to be there for Hillary, we’re going to get the vote out”, said Cantwell.
Mrs. Clinton and her aides have returned tens of thousands of documents to the State Department that they sent during their time in government and that should have been kept in the department all along. The girls consistently highlighted how significant and meaningful it would be to them to elect the first woman President. Barbara Mikulski, who is retiring this year, noting Mikulski is the reason Clinton was allowed to wear trousers on the Senate floor. I’m glad you will do your best on as many things as you can.
Clinton touched on the theme earlier in the day during an appearance at the Atlantic Council in Washington in which she discussed foreign policy.

A lingering controversy in the September 11, 2012 assault that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans centers on suspicions that the administration deliberately tried to mislead American voters – during President Obama’s re-election campaign – about the nature of the attack.
