Howard Dean: 'No substance' to Clinton email controversy

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) on Friday dismissed media coverage of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, saying the controversy is "nonsense."

"There's really no substance to this story at all," Dean said during an appearance on "MSNBC Live" with host Craig Melvin, blasting the "media frenzy" surrounding her use of private email as secretary of State.

"If the argument is that Hillary Clinton committed treason then let's have that discussion. This is innuendo, this is nonsense. There was no dishonesty. She did not send any emails marked classified," Dean said. "This is a classic press feeding frenzy fed, I might add, by the right wing."

.......................

But Dean said that Clinton would be able to put the controversy behind her eventually.

"Right now the press is very frustrating to her. I've been in that position. I'm very sympathetic with what she's going through. She's going to have to weather this storm. It'll go away, because there's no substance to it, and it'll probably go away right around the time of the caucuses," he said.

the phantom "ruling" that wasn't a ruling, was amazing!

Hillary could use Dean more. He'd be a good press secretary, tho I'm gonna bet Matthews gets in her admin; it would be a beautiful kiss and makeup. But Dean could also be HHS, he's a great guy! If he coulda attracted more centrist voters in 2004, he'd have been a great nominee, or at least better than Kerry.

Most emails are no more than "utterances."

This whole issue is a rightwing and media-driven exercise in Hillary Hate or summer boredom bashing.

If not this, something else.

We are ready.
