Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plays victim as she continues to lie about her leaked emails.
On Tuesday, Clinton claimed that former FBI Director James Comey was mistaken about her classified emails and that they contained “zero” classified documents.
I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails…

As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a “Clinton Standard."
The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified.
“I can’t believe we’re still talking about this, but my emails,” Clinton tweeted. As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a “Clinton Standard. The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified.”
She went on to direct the blame toward Republicans as the FBI mounts an obstruction case against former President Donald Trump.
“As Trump’s problems continue to mount, the right is trying to make this about me again. There’s even a ‘Clinton Standard.’ The fact is that I had zero emails that were classified,” Clinton continued. “Comey admitted he was wrong after he claimed I had classified emails. Trump’s own State Department, under two different Secretaries, found I had no classified emails.”
Contrary to Clinton’s claims, the FBI previously found that she exchanged 110 emails with explicitly labeled classified information; 36 included confidential information, and eight contained “top secret” intel.
This comes after Clinton said she would not run for president again during an interview on “CBS Evening News” last Tuesday.
When asked by anchor Norah O’Donnell if she would ever run for president again, Clinton said: “No, no.”
“But I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that we have a president who respects our democracy and the rule of law and upholds our institutions,” she continued.
Clinton also said that Trump “should be soundly defeated” if he runs again in 2024, saying: “It should start in the Republican Party. Grow a backbone. Stand up to this guy.”
Clinton previously said that she would endorse President Joe Biden if he runs for reelection the same year, which he has repeatedly said he plans to do, saying that he would be “the person most likely to win.”
“Joe Biden beat [Trump] in a huge landslide victory in the popular vote for Donald Trump. I think that says a lot,” Clinton said during an interview on NBC News in late June.
