And what a head-fake it was. After leaving reporters waiting an eternity to hear her explanation for her private email server, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally took the podium, riffing on the state of women worldwide before eventually saying, “I want to comment on a matter in the news today … regarding Iran ….”

.@HillaryClinton discussing Iran talks to a press corps salivating over emails. She's taking full advantage of cable frenzy
— Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) March 10, 2015
It would be the ultimate media troll if Hillary Clinton finishes this Iran statement and just bounces.
— Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) March 10, 2015
Clinton pretty smart to also make news by commenting on Iran. Will provide a headline that isn't emails.

Here comes the media hook: the 47 letter.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 10, 2015
The demands for a Hillary comment on the Iran letter proved too much for her to remain silent.
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) March 10, 2015
Absolutely no one here cares what you think about the letter to Iran, so just spit it out and move on, please.
Oh, so we're going to attack Republicans first. Ok. Cool. #HillaryPresser
— Emily Zanotti’s Great & Unmatched Wisdom (@emzanotti) March 10, 2015
Shorter Hillary: There's this whole Iran thing that's really bad, but you pesky reporters want to talk about my emails.

Hillary says GOP letter to Iran was “out of step”
— Charlie Spiering (@charliespiering) March 10, 2015
Hillary on Iran: Reasonable people can disagree..but the recent letter was out of step w best traditions of American leadership #IranLetter

Hillary says Republicans were "trying to be helpful to the Iranians or harmful to the Commander in Chief."
— Roger Simon (@politicoroger) March 10, 2015
She starts off by accusing Senators of disloyalty… oh this is rich..
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) March 10, 2015
HRC starts w/ women equality and then SLAMS the 47 Republican Senators BIG TIME
— Greta Van Susteren (@greta) March 10, 2015
Deal may grant "unprecedented access and insight" into #Iran, Clinton says, hedging: "We all must judge any final agreement on its merits."

— Michael Tackett (@tackettdc) March 10, 2015
she is trying to get the base riled up, nothing like distraction
— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) March 10, 2015
"Either these senators were trying to be helpful to the Iranians" Oh, cram it.
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) March 10, 2015
"Hillary on offense!" "Hillary comes out swinging!" "Hillary DESTROYS Republicans!" "Hillary BLASTS GOP!"
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) March 10, 2015
Reporters I beg you to point out Hillary had a different position in 2007 when she praised Pelosi's trip to Syria to meet with Assad.
— Dana Perino (@DanaPerino) March 10, 2015
Hold on … it appears that, like President Obama, Clinton heard on the news that there’s some sort of flap about her private emails.
Clinton: "I know there have been questions about my email"
— Matthew Boyle (@mboyle1) March 10, 2015
Maybe she should hold a press conference and answer some of those questions, if time allows.
Worst politician ever
