At last night CNN hosted town hall, Chris Cuomo challenged Hillary Clinton on her use of a private email server to handle all of her emails. Her response is classic Clinton:
.@HillaryClinton says she should have investigated email issue sooner, but won't call it "error in judgment": "Nothing I did was wrong."

“Nothing” was wrong? Not even a tad wrong? And no “error in judgment”?
Here’s the video:
In her rambling answer on her secret server, Clinton refuses to admit it was an error in judgment. #DemTownHallhttps://t.co/dEjmablXL2

Sorry, Hillary. We’re not buying it:

An astounding statement, more so that it can come more than 10 months after her presser at the UN. #CNNtownhall https://t.co/onr18LjGeV

It was an error in someone else's judgment!

You keep that chin up. As long as mishandling classified information doesn't get you down. #DemTownHall https://t.co/FK08FUe1XC

@ABCPolitics @HillaryClinton One does not set up a private server in a bathroom somewhere to make life easier. Total BS. #DemTownHall

She also sounds like she’s contradicting what she said in the past:
@ABCPolitics But didn't @HillaryClinton say it "was a mistake .. I’m sorry about that .. I take responsibility" to @DavidMuir last Sept.?

Here’s the clip:

Isn’t this the actual definition of an “error in judgment”?
“I do think I could have and should have done a better job answering questions earlier. I really didn’t perhaps appreciate the need to do that,” the democratic presidential candidate told Muir in an exclusive interview in New York City. “What I had done was allowed, it was above board. But in retrospect, as I look back at it now, even though it was allowed, I should have used two accounts. One for personal, one for work-related emails. That was a mistake. I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility.”
