Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as
Another Dean Rusk...
says she did not send or receive classified information on her personal email account while she was secretary of state in the administration of President Barack Obama
Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back...
from 2009 to 2013.
"I did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time," Clinton told news hounds on Saturday in Winterset, Iowa, where she was holding an election campaign event.
According to a US government inspector general, Clinton sent at least four messages from her private email server when she was secretary of state that contained classified information.
The four emails "were classified when they were sent and are classified now," Andrea Williams, a spokesperson for the inspector general of the intelligence community, told the Wall Street Journal.
Clinton has come under fire for using a private email account during her years at the State Department.
Clinton's email account, clintonemail.com, was hosted by a server located at her home, making it difficult to trace the account back to her.
Using personal email does not necessarily violate rules as long as they are properly preserved, but the practice has raised doubts about her transparency.
