Katty Kay: The More Clinton Talks About Her E-mails, the Less Authentic She Seems
BRZEZINSKI: “‘All right. The Washington Post’ reports this morning that Hillary Clinton wrote and sent at least six e-mails that’s contained classified information while using her private server. The revelations found in Monday’s release suggest that Clinton’s role in distributing sensitive material went beyond receiving notes written by others on the e-mail system kept in her home. Government officials deemed the information confidential after she left office but her personally writing the messages contradicts what she claimed in March when the private server was first revealed.”

CLINTON: “I did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. There is no classified material. So I certainly well aware of the classification requirements. And did not send classified material.”

SCARBOROUGH: “Katty, The U.N. Press conference seems to be every day goes by just seems to have one more brick pulled out of the wall. It’s -- if it hasn’t completely crumbled down her defense, it’s close.
KAY: “She seems to be spinning herself in knots on this one and a lot of it is a self-made problem. You have to wonder when she gave that press conference back at the United Nations, wasn’t she aware of the six e-mail that are now being found, that are being released and potentially there are more as they go through further tranches of these e-mails. I still think in terms of the public you’re right. What we were discussing in the last hour this is not so much about the e-mails themselves. Because really people clear on what is the difference between classified and confidential and the whole thing about the server seems incredibly complicated both technically and politically, it’s her response to it that’s the problem. And it has been her response all along that’s the problem. And trying to -- the more she sounds like a politician about this, the more she sounds like she has her lawyer sitting on her shoulder dictating what she says. The less she sounds like the authentic person that is Donald Trump that is getting all of this appeal. And the contrast between the two, particularly on this issue of the e-mails and her response to it, couldn’t be starker.”
