Joe Scarborough blasted Hillary Clinton’s arguments for having a private server saying they “melt in the light of day.”
Mark Halperin said on Tuesday’s “Morning Joe” panel that Hillary and her aids are “not being forthcoming of certain key facts” regarding the email server. (RELATED: Hillary Clinton On Using Private Email: ‘Not The Best Choice’)
Joe Scarborough: Yeah, Mark Halpern, that’s one of the ridiculous things she told Andrea Mitchell, which was one of the many ridiculous things she told Andrea Mitchell, on Friday of course the Friday before Labor Day, where she said, “I wasn’t focused on the email system while I was getting ready to take care of the big problems of the world.” If you weren’t then why didn’t you take the State Department email that everybody else always gets. Why were you, the day before you were sworn in, busily getting a home server set up? I mean all of her arguments just melt in the light of day. That one melts in the light of day. I mean, why did she do it? If it didn’t matter to her at all. Them going around talking, “None of them were marked classified,” irrelevant. None of them were marked classified at the time they were sent or received. That’s not true either. I mean, the second she sends an email out, and it’s an improper email with information. They have gone back and back dated it as classified from the moment it was sent.
Mark Halpern: Post-Labor Day, we go back to basics, she’s a formidable front runner for the Democratic nomination. Some of the coverage of this issue is unfair, but she’s not being forthcoming and her aids are not being forthcoming of certain key facts. They’re not willing to show weakness and you have the inevitable reality that her poll numbers have gone down, people think she’s are not honest. People are alienated by her behavior on this because they’re not answering questions. We’ve got the FBI investigation. We’ve got monthly releases of more emails. They have not dealt with this. In showing more joy alone will not solve it.
