Hillary Clinton hits back at Trump allies: ‘I had ZERO classified emails’
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Hillary Clinton set the record straight once again about her “classified emails.”
- The former secretary of state said, “I had zero emails that were classified,” in comparison to Trump’s handling of classified documents.
- A couple of weeks ago, Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that “if there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the Clinton debacle … there’ll be riots in the streets.”
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday fired back at Republicans comparing her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of State and former President Trump’s handling of classified documents. The FBI found the documents after searching his Mar-a-Lago estate on August 8.
“I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…” Clinton said in a Twitter thread.
Clinton faced scrutiny since her 2016 presidential bid when then-candidate Trump and his allies focused on the emails against her.
“[Former FBI Director James] Comey admitted he was wrong after he claimed I had classified emails. Trump’s own State Department, under two different Secretaries, found I had no classified emails. That’s right: ZERO,” Clinton wrote.
Clinton added that by contrast, “Trump has hundreds of documents clearly marked classified, and the investigation just started.”
Newly unsealed records show FBI agents found more than 100 classified documents at the Palm Beach, Fla., resort during the early August search, as well as dozens of empty folders, marked as classified.
Trump’s possession of the documents at his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving office has raised questions about potential violations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires such records be preserved and turned over to the National Archives.
“As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again,” Clinton wrote on Tuesday.
She knocked the GOP’s references to the “Clinton Standard,” the argument now touted by a number of Republicans that because Clinton didn’t face prosecution for her handling of documents, Trump shouldn’t either.
Sen. John Cornyn of Texas wrote on Twitter last week, “Democrats and the FBI created the Hillary Clinton standard for non-prosecution of mishandling classified information. Will Donald Trump be held to a different standard?”
Sen. Lindsey Graham warned in a Fox News appearance that “if there’s a prosecution of Donald Trump for mishandling classified information, after the Clinton debacle … there’ll be riots in the streets.”
After news of the FBI’s search, Clinton touted “But Her Emails” merchandise, poking fun at the former president.
A federal judge granted Trump’s request for a special master on Monday. The special master will review evidence taken from Mar-a-Lago but will temporarily stop the Justice Department’s access to the documents.

What an evil corrupt liar!!!! She should have been tried, convicted and in jail since 2016. Do Democrats even know what the truth, decency, and regard for your fellow man means? I think NOT!

Oh really Hillary, you had zero classified documents after you beat the hell out of all your cell phones and bleached your hard drives. Everyone knows that you broke the law and Comey had not a pair to convict you,

MG, completely agree with your comment, anyone who is was old enough to remember what tactics she used to obstruct justice. The most terrible part of ALL that happenings during that time was The Republicans never subpoenaed her to testify under oath to these actions

At the time, Hillary claimed she had removed “titles” from emails in the process of sending them through her un-secure server. After decades around government, she claimed she had no idea what letters like C [Confidential], S [Secret], and TS [Top Secret] were, because “no one ever told me.”
