1. “I only used one device.”
Clinton initially told reporters she set up the private server for convenience, because she didn’t want to carry separate devices for her work and her email. “People across the government knew that I used one device,” she reiterated Tuesday. “Maybe it was because I am not the most technically capable person and wanted to make it as easy as possible.”
But
in an email to Sidney Blumenthal while she was secretary of state, Clinton mentioned she was without Blackberry coverage after a tropical storm and so had switched to a “new iPad” for her emails.
2. “I’ve never had a subpoena.”
Asked why she deleted more than 30,000 emails while under subpoena, Clinton said: “I’ve never had a subpoena.”
n response, the House Select Committee on Benghazi released its March
subpoena to Clinton Wednesday, which it sent directly after it became aware of her personal email account and private server. The subpoena demanded she turn over all records and emails in her possession related to Benghazi.
What she may have meant is that she wasn’t under subpoena when she deleted the emails.
Prior to the subpoena, Clinton’s staff had voluntarily turned over more than 30,000 emails to the State Department and deleted the rest, which were deemed personal and irrelevant. The State Department then provided 900 emails to the Select Committee on Benghazi.
3. “I wanted to go above and beyond what was expected of me”
“Now I didn’t have to turn over anything,” Clinton said, referring to the emails she turned over last year. “I chose to turn over 55,000 pages because I wanted to go above and beyond what was expected of me because I knew the vast majority of everything that was official already was in the State Department system.”
But new emails
surfaced in June that had not been turned over to the Benghazi committee, suggesting either that Clinton lied about turning all the remaining emails over to the State Department, or that the State Department for some reason didn’t turn all the relevant emails over to the Benghazi committee.
4. Republican presidential candidates are all “in the same general area on immigration.”
Asked about Donald Trump’s comments on immigration, Clinton tried to tie his remarks to the Republican party, saying they’re all “in the same general area on immigration.”
6. On raising taxes: “I’m going to be telling the American people what I propose.”
Clinton dodged a direct question about tax increases, saying she will tell the American people what she proposes in an upcoming speech.
“Is raising taxes on the table?” Keilar asked.
“I’m going to put out my policies, and I’ll let other people speak to their policies,” she said.
Hillary’s campaign announced her policy proposals will include tax hikes in June. “We are rolling out major policy proposals over the summer/fall,”
her campaign spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted. “Among those proposals will be revenue enhancements.”
