Scarborough: Clinton Has ‘Mislead’ the American Public Since Her U.N. Press Conference
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCARBOROUGH: “Some of the question. So, who at the State Department allowed you to do this? We'll give you a heads-up, Secretary Clinton. Who at the State Department allowed you to do this? Who went through your e-mails? Because you have been very murky about this. Who went through your e-mails and decided which ones would be destroyed and which would be saved? It wasn't you. You never suggested it was you. You always speak some third party. Who was that person that went through those e-mails and did you have somebody that had national security clearance to be able to tell? Did you have somebody that was also read in to the Freedom Of Information Act Law to make sure you weren't destroying the only records that the United States of America had of your work while secretary of state? Before you destroyed those, possibly valuable information to this country? I mean, those are just two simple ones. There are about 100 other questions.”
FORD: “I think she will have answered to all those questions.” [Crosstalk]
SCARBOROUGH: “I wish you would have them Friday.”
FORD: “You all express a certain level of certainty on the other side of the issue. I think it's fair. As I said on the show before, number one, I don't think she did anything wrong or intentionally wrong. I don't think she violating any laws of the country and I don't believe in her heart that's what she intended to do. If she comes on and isn't able to answer the questions or answers the questions on the side you're suggesting, I will be the first to say you're right.”
SCARBOROUGH: “What I'm saying –“
FORD: “I don't believe you have any real evidence to make the case you make. I respect your sentiment. I should do the same on my side.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Harold, you're just speaking in generalities. We have no evidence whatsoever.”
FORD: “Follow the path.”
SCARBOROUGH: “How many chances has she had to answer these questions for how Leung?
FORD: “That I agree with. I believe she ought to come on and do this. I want her to answer the questions and I have every confidence knowing her the way I do –“
SCARBOROUGH: “You ask me what evidence I have. We could roll the entire United Nations press conference if you would like. I would be glad to do that, one misstatement after another she has made. And this is objectively. Objectively, she has made one misstatement after another. She has said things objectively about this server and about this process that are blatantly untrue. Now, doesn't take a former Republican congressman to say that. You can take Ron Fournier and other people who have followed this closely. If you have journalists that aren't so desperate to get access in the hopes of that interview that they will actually speak the truth to power like I did to Mitt Romney four years ago, and I have done to newt Gingrich and to other Republicans time and time again, if you have the guts to speak truth to power to the Clinton machine, then you have to come up with no other conclusion that they just have misled the American public time and time again since the U.N. Conference. They have said things, Mark Halperin, tell me if I'm wrong, that are objectively false since the U.N. Press conference.”
