National Journal columnist Ron Fournier doesn’t seem to worry anymore about being perceived as biased against Hillary Clinton. The lies and spin related to her private email server are just too much to ignore, and in one of his columns he shredded the Clinton campaign’s many attempts to explain away the scandal.
Clinton is at the point where she just keeps cycling through old excuses, such as this one resurrected yesterday.

Clinton told Andrea Mitchell she was sorry for the confusion her email setup caused, but there’s not much confusing about it. Classified information is classified from inception — not after it has been typed up and marked classified.
@ron_fournier @chasrmartin Her continuing use of this non-sequitur phrase indicates either that she's stupid, or she thinks we are. Or both.

@gdebenedetti Marking does not matter. “It’s not classified because it’s marked, it’s marked because it’s classified”.

@gdebenedetti @whpresscorps So now she'll say she never saw these emails at all. It was someone else & she wasn't involved…ugh #Liar

@ron_fournier @mdrache Some of us who dealt with classified material for a long time have been saying this from the beginning. Welcome Ron.

"marked"
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is"
Hmmm, I see a pattern..

@ron_fournier @gdebenedetti she is just a corrupt human being. Full stop. Not worthy of presidency.
