Hugh Hewitt: Hillary’s E-Mail Scandal ‘More than a Problem; It’s an Indictment’

‘This is a criminal matter and Donald Trump called it that on my show this week’

RADDATZ: "And let’s talk about the Democrats for a minute here. How much do you think this email server hurts Hillary Clinton and these classified e-mails?"

BRAZILE: "She has 1,362 precinct captains, she has one-third of the county chairs with her, she’s organized in this state as if that matters next year.

This email stuff, yes, it’s a huge distraction. Most of it is a lot of..."

RADDATZ: "It could be a distraction for a long time, right?"

BRAZILE: "She has 17 Republican candidates. She has four Democratic challengers. Yes, it’s a perception problem. But is it factually true?

The committee that Trey Gowdy is overseeing, they spent more than $4 million trying to tear down Hillary Clinton’s character. I think she will come out of this okay, but it’s going to be long battle."

HEWITT: "It’s more than a problem, it’s an indictment. 18 USEs 1924 is what led to the indictment of General Petraeus, it led to the indictment of Sandy Berger before that. It led to the indictment of John Deutch former CIA director. Mishandling classified information and Matt’s had the clearances, I’ve had the clearances, you’ve had the clearances, is a very serious matter.

She doesn’t have any explanation of her erasing 31,000 emails. And that’s an 18-minute gap, that’s an 18,000-minute gap. So this is a criminal matter and Donald Trump called it that on my show this week."
