NBC: ‘Many Democrats Nervous’ over Hillary Clinton’s ‘Stumbles’ with Email Scandal

‘She hasn’t silenced the skeptics’

ALEXANDER (voice-over): “Despite Hillary Clinton digging in her heels this week she hasn't silenced the skeptics. The spectacle reminding many anxious Democrats of the ‘99s when another Clinton was in the White House. New this morning: TIME magazine putting Clinton on its cover. 'The Clinton way; they write their own rules; will it work this time.' Clinton now reportedly considering moving up the rollout of her 2016 campaign to early April even some of her Democratic defenders acknowledging the trust issues."

BOXER: “If you don’t believe her, don’t vote for her. That’s what I think. And if you believe her, then vote for her

ALEXANDER (voice-over): “The White House addressed questions whether it trust the 30,000 emails Clinton says she deleted were all personal, not work related."

EARNEST: “There has not been any evidence that’s been produced to raise any doubts about that."

ALEXANDER (on-screen): “But no one can produce evidence because she deleted them.”

ALEXANDER (voice-over): “All this focusing new attention on Clinton’s 'would be' Democratic primary opponents who remain silent on her email issues. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley who was in New Hampshire last week and couldn't avoid the issue Wednesday.”

O'MALLEY: “Frankly, I am a little sick of the email drama.”

ALEXANDER (voice-over): “Vice President Joe Biden hasn't said a word about the controversy while Senator Elizabeth Warren who says she is not running made waves last month when she seemed to sidestep Al Sharpton's question on whether Clinton would be progressive enough.”

WARREN: “You know. I think that's what we got a see. I want to hear what she wants to run on and what she said she wants to do. That's what campaigns are supposed to be about.”

ALEXANDER (voice-over): “Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tells The Washington Post, 'Clinton and her team waited too long to answer questions about the controversy. They're the ones who put air in this balloon in a way that was not necessary at all', he said. 'She's a candidate without a campaign.'"

ALEXANDER (on-screen): “And this morning Clinton is being challenged under claim that all emails to her State Department colleagues were saved by them. A new State Department inspector general's report says for the last five years most important State Department emails for the entire department were in fact not properly archived because of inadequate training, a failing computer system, even some employees deliberately avoiding creating computerized records.
