What once was mildly amusing is becoming awfully tedious heading into the seventh year of Barack Obama’s presidency. In an exclusive interview with CBS News White House correspondent Bill Plante, the president on Saturday broke his silence on the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Who knows? He might have commented earlier, but he of course heard about it at the same time the rest of the country did: when he saw it on the news, duh.
.@BarackObama tells @plantecbs he learned about @HillaryClinton's emails "the same time everybody else learned it, through news reports."

So his secretary of state declined to set up an official government email address and instead conducted all correspondence though her own secret, private email server that was neither secured nor backed up to official government archives — of course he was “glad” to learn that she wanted the emails made public.
Obama to @CBSNews re Clinton emails: "I'm glad that Hillary’s instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."

Did Obama say whether he and Hillary Clinton ever emailed?

Still haven't gotten a good answer: Did Obama email w HRC via her private acct & just assume she also had a .gov?
— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) March 8, 2015
That might have been a clue that something was up. Who knows if Obama ever bothered to check his email if he relied on a quick glance through The Georgetown Dish for his intelligence briefings?
Fox News analyst Monica Crowley isn’t buying any of it.
So Obama says he didn't know that @HillaryClinton was using a private email & server for all of her official business. Riiiiight.

@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton Not a credible response from a pseudo educated person in the 21st century.

@MonicaCrowley Be Nice for him to know that @HillaryClinton was using a private email he would have had to read 1 no proof he reads anything

.@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton so, how did they communicate with each other…carrier pigeon?
— Rosemary Wilkerson (@richfield65) March 8, 2015
. @MonicaCrowley well if true just proves @HillaryClinton and Obama didn't communicate much. A bigger problem for both of them

@MonicaCrowley Really tired of all the lies. Hoping that she doesn't end up being 'Teflon Hillary'. Disgusting!

@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton If you like hiding your email, you can keep hiding it.

@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton Is there anything about his own administration Obum will FINALLY take responsibility for?! #geez

@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton Doesn't surprise me his putting distance between them. Business as usual for him.

@MonicaCrowley U could fill an impeachment hearing with stuff that BHO claimed he had no knowledge of.

@MonicaCrowley @HillaryClinton Add this to IRS, Benghazi, Fast/Furious. Get the picture?

“So I just say anything I want and you’ll put it on the network news? Cool!”
Pres Obama stands by his frequent assertion that his is the most transparent Administration ever. "It's true," he told @plantecbs
