Lanny Davis, Fox Host Battle Over Hillary Clinton Email Controversy

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace challenged former Clinton White House counsel Lanny Davis over why Hillary Clinton used a personal email account and server while she was secretary of state.

"Do you really believe she did nothing wrong?" Wallace asked Davis on Sunday.

"No, but she also did nothing illegal," Davis responded.

Wallace insisted that the email rules were different for Clinton than for Colin Powell, who also used private email while serving as secretary of state. And he argued that the Obama administration told employees to use government email.

"In fact, the Obama White House has been unclear about what the policy is," Davis hit back.

Wallace then challenged Davis, asking why Clinton ordered her State Department employees to used their government emails in 2011, but did not do so herself.

"I can explain that by saying that a secretary of state traveling to 111 countries might be needing to have one email system versus people in the Department who should use the official system," Davis said.

I saw this, what a slimy snake Lanny Davis is. It seemed like he got into a debate on what the meaning of "is' is. It brought back memories of the Clinton presidency days.

This is a must see moment.

Chris Wallace cleaned his clock!

Davis manages to make Rahm Emmanuel look half decent by comparison. What a dirtball -- both of them.

You left out the best part --

“Do you ever get tired of cleaning up after the Clintons?” Wallace asked.

Davis naturally didn’t think of it as “cleaning up” and said he was proud to work with the Clintons. “There have been mistakes, but the last time you got very heated about the Clintons was Whitewater,” Davis said, though Wallace denied having covered Whitewater. “This is another bogus ‘scandal.’”

The Clintons have their own rules which are different than the rest of us, and we always let them get away with it.
shame on us.

By all accounts Lanny is a congenial fellow...but his retainer from the Clintons must be enormous for him to continue to show up and shill for them in scandals and unlawful events over and over and over.

They operate in the shadows because their self-serving actions don't look good in daylight.
