David Brock Agrees ‘Clinton Cash’ Is ‘Absolutely a Legitimate Issue’

‘She scrubbed emails because she felt like it and that goes against regulation’

BROCK: “Yes, it’s absolutely a legitimate issue. As Secretary Clinton said yesterday, that kind of scrutiny comes with the territory of running for president. And yes, people should go to and look at Secretary Clinton’s actions. They’re public and she —“ [crosstalk]
BRZEZINSKI: “But we kind of can’t. Because what should be in the public record or at least viewed by the State Department has been scrubbed, so how can we do that David?”
SCARBOROUGH: “So I guess that’s the next question, David. We have these things stacking up. Is it fair to actually ask again going back to the e-mail controversy whether in fact there may be information there that could help us figure out whether there was a quid pro quo? Because at the end of the day that’s really the question here that has to be uncovered, once we have read it and investigated it. Does a lack of e-mail, a trail of e-mails, does it make it harder to do that, to get to that answer?”
BROCK: “Well, 55,000 pages of e-mail have been turned over to the State Department.”
BRZEZINSKI: “That’s not the question.”
BROCK: “And those are going to become public. So if there is anything relevant in there, sure, then we will find that out and Secretary Clinton has asked that they become public.”
BRZEZINSKI: “But David, I’m talking about the ones that were scrubbed. David, don’t deflect.”
BROCK: “I am not deflecting.” 
BRZEZINSKI: “I’m talking about the ones that were scrubbed. How can you get answers from the ones that were scrubbed that might be considered, quote, personal business? There is no answer, is there?”
BROCK: “There is. Everything relevant to her public duties is in those 55,000 pages. 
BRZEZINSKI: “Says who, David? No, David. You —“[crosstalk]
BROCK: “That’s the way the law works, Mika.”
BRZEZINSKI: “No, actually, David, you don’t have to give me a lesson on the regulations of the State Department. She scrubbed e-mails because she felt like it. And that went against regulation. And she says they were her private emails —“
BROCK: “Did not do it against regulations. She totally followed regulations.”
BRZEZINSKI: “It is her call, David, that she scrubbed e-mails that she wanted to scrub. Not anyone else’s.” 
BROCK: “It’s everybody’s call in the government to make those choices, Mika, that’s how the law works. So let’s not create a double standard for Hillary Clinton. “
