POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Las Vegas, Nevada - 18 August 2015
1. US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton entering news conference
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Hillary Clinton, US presidential candidate:
Reporter, off camera: "Bob Woodward (journalist who helped break the Watergate Scandal) yesterday was suggesting there are shades of 'Watergate' here in how you're reacting and Eugene Robinson, who is not conservative, a liberal columnist at the Washington Post, today said that, at the very least, you've stonewalled and he said you need to tell the American people 'I'm sorry, I was wrong'. But instead, in recent days, you've been talking about snapchat, you've been blaming the Republican attack, isn't leadership about taking responsibility?"
Clinton: "Well I do take, look Ed (reporter asking question) I take responsibility. Look, I just told Jeff (another reporter), in retrospect this didn't turn out to be convenient at all and I regret that this has become such a cause celebre. But that does not change the facts and no matter what anybody tries to say the facts are stubborn. What I did was legally permitted, number one, first and foremost, okay? Number two - I turned over, out of an abundance of an attempt to be helpful, over anything that I thought was even vaguely related. In fact, they've already concluded more than 1,200 of the emails I gave them have nothing to do with the work. And I said make them public and that's the process that one goes through to make them public. So I know there is a certain level of, you know, sort of anxiety or interest in this but the facts are the facts."
Reporter, off camera: "But the facts are also that two inspector generals say that there are hundreds of, they believe, of classified emails..."
Clinton: "But Ed, you're not listening to me. If it were..."
Reporter, off camera: "Independent inspectors"
Clinton: "Well if it were a government account they would be saying the same thing."
Reporter, off camera: "So let's leave it right there, right? Either way..."
Clinton: "No, no, no, well..."
Reporter, off camera: "Classified information got out."
Clinton: "This is a common...well first of all that is not in any way agreed upon. State department disagrees (on whether classified information was released). That happens all the time in these efforts to say what can go out and what can't go out. That is a part of the ordinary process. Everybody is acting like this is the first time it's ever happened, it happens all the time. And I can only tell you that the State Department has said over and over again 'we disagree'. So that's what they are sorting out and that's what happens a lot of the times. But whether it was a personal account or a government account. I did not send classified material and I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified, which is the way you know whether something is. What you're seeing now is a disagreement between agencies saying, 'you know what, they should have' and the other saying 'no you shouldn't'. That is nothing to do with me. If it had been a government account and I said 'release it', we'd be having the same arguments."
Reporter, off camera: "The FBI believes that you tried to wipe the entire server. Did you try to wipe the entire...so there would be no, you know, no personal, no official, wipe the whole thing."
Reporter, off camera: "Did you try to wipe the server?"
Clinton: "You know, I have no idea, that's why we turned it over."
Reporter, off camera: "You were in charge of it, you were the official in charge of it. Did you wipe the server?"
