Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night brushed off the question of whether she would drop out of the presidential race if she were indicted in connection with the ongoing investigation into her private email server as she was pressed repeatedly by Univision debate moderator Jorge Ramos.

“Oh, for goodness — that’s not going to happen. I’m not even answering that question,” she replied sharply at one point.

Ramos initially posed that question, among many others, about Clinton’s use of the private server while serving as secretary of state.

“It wasn’t the best choice. I made a mistake. It was not prohibitive. It was not in any way disallowed,” she said, adding: “My predecessors did the same thing.”

Clinton argued that none of the emails she sent over the server contained information that was classified at the time, and any that were marked classified were only given that designation retroactively with their public release.

“I am not concerned about it. I am not worried about it, and no Democrat or American should be either,” she said.

    Ramos going to straight to the GOP talking points/memes. Classic lazy journalism.

  2. Yes, but she answered this quite well. However, this will do nothing to slow the Republicans down as they will make even more outrageous claims all the way up to Election Day.

  3. And the media will keep the false narrative alive, because that’s what they do. They’re not interested in truth, just clicks.

    Donald Trump is more likely to be indicted by the American people for his atrocious language and behavior than Hillary by the DOJ.

  5. This is all just ridiculous.
