ALL OVER BUT THE POUTING:

"Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her e-mail arrangements while she was Secretary. She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion," Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, said in an e-mailed statement.  [...]

Clinton used the private e-mail to send or receive about 60,000 messages from 2009 to 2013. She and her aides said about half were work-related and turned over to the State Department. They said the rest, which they deemed personal, were destroyed. Clinton added that she used the system for convenience.

Following a review, State Department officials said more than 2,000 of the messages Clinton shared contained classified information, with top-secret information appearing in 22. However, no material was labeled as classified when the e-mails were sent or received. Clinton and her aides say that shows she didn't do anything wrong.

In its May 26 report, the State Department's inspector general faulted Clinton for failing to follow guidelines on records management and using the server. The inspector general also faulted the State Department's handling of electronic records and communications generally. It didn't say Clinton had done anything illegal. While previous secretaries of state had also used some form of private e-mail at work, "by Secretary Clinton's tenure, the Department's guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated," according to the report.
