inspectors generals say it wasn t criminal. hillary clinton took questions in iowa yesterday. she said i did not send or receive anything that was classified at the time contradicted by the igs. is that whole thing just semantics? yes. particularly in changing to this passive voice. who was writing these e-mails? if it was an assistant or housekeeper or dog walker we should know this. i think the new york times was playing semantics here. i don t remember them issuing a clarification on marco rubio s luxury yacht that was a modest fishing boat. you can t blame clintons for asking the new york times to make these changes but you can blame the new york times for acquiescing. my problem was not leveling with readers we made this change and here s why. there s a second correction about this criminal referral thing. i used to cover the justice

webb about this deal. i am very concerned about any agreement that would acquiesce to the idea that iran would eventually acquire nuclear weapons. we want better relations with iran. i ve said this many times over the years. but since the iraq war with the fallout of the iraq war and arab spring iran is more active in the region and we don t want to send the wrong signal we are acquiescing to the greater power that iran has. so i don t see that there s a hurry here with respect to the agreement with iran. if there is a deal is that something that hillary has to worry about defending in a primary? yeah. i think so. i think it s something that the electorate s going to want to look at from the democrat and republican side and say, well, okay, there s a deal. how are you going to handle it as the next president? really the responsibility to make it work is going to be on
