发帖数: 61690 | 1 Hillary Clinton submitted formal answers under penalty of perjury on
Thursday about her use of a private email server, saying 20 times that she
did not recall the requested information or related discussions, while also
asserting that no one ever warned her that the practice could run afoul of
laws on preserving federal records.
"Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall being advised, cautioned,
or warned, she does not recall that it was ever suggested to her, and she
does not recall participating in any communication, conversation, or meeting
in which it was discussed that her use of a clintonemail.com e-mail account
to conduct official State Department business conflicted with or violated
federal recordkeeping laws," lawyers for Clinton wrote.
Clinton also said she could not recall ever being warned about any hacking
or attempted hacking of her private account or server.
Clinton signed the legal filing Monday "under penalty of perjury." The
submission was ordered by a federal judge in connection with a Freedom of
Information Action lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
Lawyers for the group asked for a live deposition where they could question
Clinton in person, but U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan instead
ordered Clinton to answer written questions.
Hillary Clinton and her team appeared to take a softer tone for her
testimony to the House Benghazi committee than the first draft of the
statement.
Clinton's answers generally track with her public statements on the issue
and with FBI reports about what she said during an interview conducted in
July.
Clinton "decided to use a clintonemail.com account for the purpose of
convenience," her lawyers said. Asked what other reasons she may have had
for doing so, she gave no ground.
