Laughter and obfuscation not a winning formula for Hillary Clinton

NY Post Editorial:

Months into her e-mail scandal, Hillary Clinton is still trying to get away with lines like, “There’s no evidence of that.” Oh, and answering questions with laughter.

No wonder she keeps falling in the polls — behind a 74-year-old Brooklyn-born socialist in the first two primary states, where more folks are paying attention.

On CNN’s “The Situation Room” last week, she faced questions about the claim by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie that she should face criminal charges for using a private e-mail account and server to conduct official State Department business, including e-mails with highly classified information.

Clinton burst into laughter.

She kept up the giggling when asked about the chance that hackers from Russia or China broke into her server to glean national-security secrets. And then gave the lawyerly answer, “There’s no evidence of that.”

Well, not yet — the FBI’s only started looking for it, years after the breach might’ve occurred.

Anyway, Clinton went on: “This is, you know, this is overheated rhetoric, baseless charges trying to somehow, you know, gain a footing in the debate and in the primary. And it really doesn’t deserve any comment.”

Baseless charges? Yeah, the FBI makes it a habit to investigate those.
...

The "no evidence" ruse is not working.  She already tried it on allegations that there was classified data on her unsecured server.  Now that there is some evidence of that, she has moved on to trotting out that excuse for other aspects of her bad judgment.  It is not the same as Bo there was not breach of my server, and it is at least an admission that she does not know whether it was breached or not.
