Flack-tastic! Hillary campaign spox tries to spin State Dept. OIG report, fails miserably

The ‘everyone was doing it’ excuse https://t.co/tD49TlGwX6

A State Dept. audit has found Hillary Clinton’s handling of emails during her tenure as secretary of state to be in violation of the Federal Records Act, but Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon can explain:

GOP will attack HRC because she is running for President, but IG report makes clear her personal email use was not unique at State Dept

Nice try, but this conclusion seems pretty clear cut:

"she did not comply with the Department’s policies" https://t.co/FpQ6gAQL4t

Team Hillary focuses only on the private email address part of the story for a reason:

NOT THE POINT. It's the server not the emails! This is political word-play, establishment-type talk https://t.co/kCzNSgBynD

Clinton camp once again trying to conflate personal email and private off-the-books server. https://t.co/mVABb7FOSO

Setting up a private, improper, unsecure server to conduct *all* email business was, in fact, unique to one person. https://t.co/QB3QXhOFUu

The Clinton campaign hopes that just focusing on the private email address and avoiding the server discussion (combined with the help of Dems blaming Republicans for Hillary’s shenanigans) will be enough to run out the clock until the election.

Clinton camp defends email use; argue that others did the same.

This is false.
