Barbara Boxer: Hillary ‘Did Everything Right’ with Secret Emails; GOP ‘Should Just Back Off’

"Hillary Clinton followed the letter of the law and the spirit of the law and all the rest is total politics. Now, you know, people said to me, 'Why didn't you come out and speak about this?' Because I know in this whole thing -- the press asked me, 'What do you think?' I said, ‘It’s a nothing burger.’

But they never, ever, with all due respect Reverend Al, the press never quoted me. They just like the controversy and they are going to get it. The Republicans are playing politics. I want to prove it to you. Colin Powell, another secretary of state that I respected and admired, just as I respect and admire and support Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell admitted that he got rid of all his emails when he was secretary of state. Could you find me one Republican that is asking why he did that when Hillary Clinton turned them all over?

Now, if the Republicans want to have an email police coming into everybody's home and  go through their private lives, you know what? That's outrageous. Outrageous! And they could just back off. They should just back off because she did everything right. The letter, the spirit of the law."
