U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that she did not use a private email account to send or receive classified information while she was secretary of state, in response to a government inspector's letter this week.
"I did not send nor receive anything that was classified at the time," Clinton said at a campaign stop in Iowa.
The email controversy has dogged Clinton's bid for the presidency, fuelling worries that the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination has tried to sidestep transparency and record-keeping laws.
At least four emails from the private email account that Clinton used while secretary of state contained classified information, Inspector General Charles McCullough, who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, told members of Congress in a letter on Thursday.
Clinton said on Saturday she had "no idea" what were the emails mentioned in the letter.
McCullough's letter said a sampling of 40 of about 30,000 emails sent or received by Clinton found at least four that contained information the government had classified as secret.
The information was classified at the time that the emails were sent, McCullough said.
The use of her private email account, linked to a server in her New York home for work, has drawn fire from political opponents since coming to light in March.
Republicans have accused Clinton of trying to avoid disclosure laws through her use of private systems.
The frontrunner to represent the Democratic Party in the November 2016 election, Clinton has repeatedly said she broke no laws or rules by eschewing a standard government email account.
While Clinton faces little competition for the Democratic Party's nomination, several recent polls have found a majority of voters find her untrustworthy, a perception potentially exacerbated by controversy over her emails.

This is such a BS defense. If you are using a communications system outside channels, how can any of the content ever BE classified? Some of her content has been classified "after the fact" which is a very strong case for it being classified "at the time", had it ever had the chance to move through the system. Although I would hope that "that woman" (attempting to be civil) received some training in OPSEC for her position as SECSTATE, she is by no means the ultimate arbiter of what is classified and what is not. I believe her sidestepping the system should be an indictable offense. I hope Trey Gowdy holds her feet to the fire.

I think they just found 4 emails with information on her personal email accounts that was classified at the time and remain classified today. That was out of a sampling of less then 50 emails reviewed. It appears she has lied again. The Clintons have made a career out of looking directly into the camera and lying to us then backing it up later, slowly, and the media complies.

Of course I believe her. Just like I believed my Soldiers when they told me they missed PT because they forgot about daylight savings.

No, I do not believe her. The IG referred the case to the FBI. The only reason they would do that is if they found evidence of criminal activity during the IG review.

GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad I have hard time believing most of our politicians anymore, so it doesn't matter of they are Democrats or Republicans (or what). Hopefully, the truth will come out, but so far she has dodged it. I think this will hurt her, but I believe there are way to many entitled citizens left over from the Obama days to stop her from becoming the next POTUS, unless something really serious happens with the emails and Benghazi. Just my opinion!

How much does this sound like her husband? Quite a bit actually.
"Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you." - Clinton, Bill. Response to the Lewinsky Allegations, Miller Center of Public Affairs, 26 January 1998.
What I do not understand is how so many people accept the outright lies that some politicians and public figures make. How does this individual not know about the proper handling of emails, especially after having been the First Lady, having served as a Senator, and then during her tenure as Secretary of State, the WikiLeaks scandal known as Cablegate.
Is this another case of "Do as I say, not as I do."?
Either way, her response is a false statement or she can not remember. And taking that into consideration is another reason NOT to elect or appoint her to public office again.

So... we're to believe that she didn't communicate *any* classified information on her *only* email account? Hardly. If true, she should be fired for incompetence. I would expect the Secretary of State to address classified matters on a daily basis.

Why was it necessary to "scrub" the email server if it did not contain incriminating evidence? This is the question that decides my response. No, I'm not falling back on that old saw that says "Where there's smoke there's fire". If that were true, we'd see Hillary being prosecuted/persecuted for a whole lot more. No, my opinion is based on a fundamental and sound legal premise that evidence should not be destroyed during a criminal investigation. Indeed, that is an act that in itself constitutes a serious crime. Also, jurors may infer that the accused was intentionally hiding incriminating evidence when they destroy it to keep it from the hands of prosecutors. Thus, my inference has a legal as well as a logical basis...

She scrubbed the server because with no evidence, well, there's no evidence. Believe me, there's some GS-3 IT wonk out there somewhere with a backup of her server. I suppose we could also ask the Chinese for their backup copy...
