Fox News: State Dept. Undercuts Clinton’s Explanation E-mails Were Not Marked Classified

Pomerantz: ‘There is no mechanism for her to be briefed and to have any information about the conduct, the substance, the direction or the result of any FBI investigation’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BAIER: "Publicly Hillary Clinton says she is sure nothing will come of the FBI investigation into her e-mail practices while secretary of state. Is that confidence justified or just wishful thinking?"
[clip starts]
CLINTON: "I am 100 percent confident. This is a security review that was requested. It is being carried out. It will be resolved."
HERRIDGE (voice-over): "But the form he senior FBI agents tell fox, Clinton can’t know the FBI investigation’s outcome."
POMERANTZ: "There is no mechanism for her to be briefed and to have any information about the conduct, the substance, the direction or the result of any FBI investigation."
HERRIDGE (voice-over): "And downplaying the FBI probe as a security review was misleading."
POMERANTZ: "As a federal law enforcement investigative agency, they do not do security reviews. What they primarily do and what they’re clearly doing is a criminal investigation."
HERRIDGE (voice-over): "During debate, Clinton embraced the findings of an independent review. The personal accounts of Colin Powell as well as staffer Condoleezza Rice. And like Clinton, Powell wants his e-mails made public."
CLINTON: "I never sent or received any classified material. They are retroactively classifying it. I agree completely with secretary Powell who said today, this is an absurdity."
HERRIDGE (voice-over): "But Republicans recognize, Powell and rice staffers had only a handful of classified e-mails compared to Clinton’s 1,600. Neither Powell nor rice set up personal servers."
POMPEO: "They’re trying to use the same excuse my son used. Dad, everybody did it. The truth is these are not comparable. They’re totally unrelated."
HERRIDGE (voice-over): "Pressed by Fox News, the state Department confirmed that Clinton and her closest aides, undercutting the main explanation that nothing was marked classified."
HERRIDGE: "Did Mrs. Clinton or the others take the required classification training?" 
KIRBY: "The State Department employees here are all trained in how to handle sensitive information."
HERRIDGE: "They would not be an exception." 
KIRBY: "Everybody at the state Department gets trained in how to handle sensitive information."
[clip ends] 
HERRIDGE: "And it was confirm that Ben Rhodes, and national security adviser Susan rice went before the committee this week. It wrongly blamed the video for the 2012 attacks."
BAIER: "Thank you."
