Hillary on Podesta’s Emails: ‘I Hate the Word Hacked, They Were Stolen!’

‘They were stolen by the Russians’

EXCERPT:

HILLARY: "But this is a terrible example of what can be done by people who are malicious, unacquainted with the truth, and pursuing their own agendas whether it be commercial advantage, partisan advantage, or any other goal. For those of you who don’t follow it or may not remember it, when John Podesta’s e-mails were stolen - I hate the word 'hacked,' they were stolen. They were stolen by the Russians. And they were then, through cutouts, given to WikiLeaks, which is nothing more than a tool of Putin and the Kremlin. And, certainly, people associated with Trump knew about it because in August, Roger Stone was tweeting about how John Podesta would find himself, you know, in the barrel at some point ahead. So, on October 7, one of the more infamous days in the campaign, the day started with the Director of Homeland Security, the Secretary Jeh Johnson, the Director of National Intelligence, Jim Clapper, saying that with high confidence they knew the Russians had been behind those hacks, those thefts of e-mails. That happened in the morning. Then the 'Hollywood Access' tape broke a few hours later. And within one hour, such an amazing coincidence, WikiLeaks dumped all of John Podesta’s personal e-mails. Now, if you read those e-mails, I think it’s a little embarrassing to admit they were very anodyne, even boring."
