Clinton: Sorry, Not Sorry About Those E-mails, Can We Wrap This Up?
Can we please move on to more important things like the threat of Donald Trump?

Hillary Clinton is finding it difficult to escape her self-inflicted e-mail scandal. Maybe that's because she's broken the law and spent too much time laughing it off.
The Democratic presidential front-runner spoke to NBC News issuing a tiny bit of regret for her use of a private e-mail server for State Department business as secretary of state.
"It was still a mistake and as I've said many times, if I could go back, I would do it differently," Clinton said.
Always a politician, Clinton then mollycoddled her own guilt by changing the focus to her "life of service" and a reminder to voters of the big bad wolf awaiting on the Republican side:
"I know people have concerns about this, I understand that. But I think voters are going to be looking at the full picture of what I have to offer: my life and my service. And the full threat that Donald Trump offers our country."
See, this is all just a tiny regret for Clinton.
She then commented that her e-mail was "widely known in the department [and] throughout the government," as if to say there's nothing wrong with what she did. But according to a Fox News report, a longtime State Department official assumed Clinton's use of a private server was strictly for use with "family and friends," not for official government business.
Clinton resisted releasing her e-mails until they were thoroughly scanned by her own team of lawyers, despite insisting to NBC News that she has always wanted this information to be a part of "the official records." Yet, TruthRevolt noted that Clinton, as secretary of state, was worried that what she was doing was against the law.
When asked if her interview with the FBI was scheduled, Clinton responded, "No, it's not. But I have offered since last August and I am looking forward to seeing this matter wrapped up."
In other words, can we move on now? Hmm, that sounds familiar:
The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
