Hillary Clinton addresses email 'mistake': a timeline of her responses

If Hillary Clinton's handling of this e-mail thing doesn't worry Democrats, it should. Regardless of whether you believe it is all BS or there is some merit, Hillary's handling has been very inconsistent. First she says she did nothing wrong and refuses to apologize, and then she admits she did something wrong and apologizes. Not good.

4 September 2015
During an interview with Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, Clinton skirted around an apology when asked if she wanted “to apologize to the American people”. She said that her email decision “wasn’t the best choice” but reminded Mitchell that “it was allowed and it was fully above board”.

“And now the State Department has everything that they could have. At the end of the day, I’m sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions. But there are answers to all of these questions.”

Clinton said that she “was not thinking a lot” when she started as secretary of state as “there was so much work to be done”. When Mitchell asked if that raises judgment questions, Clinton said she did not believe so.

Asked by the Associated Press why she would’t directly apologize for using her personal email account, Clinton said:

“What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that.”

The former first lady apologized the next day during an interview with ABC.

something wrong. Saying I take responsibility is not saying I did something wrong.
Saying I should have handled it differently is not saying I did something wrong.
Hillary did not break State Department rules or the law.
