Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that rival Hillary Clinton’s emails were “a very serious issue,” but that he didn’t want to “politicize” the issue.
Sanders told Clinton at the first Democratic debate that he thought the American people were tired of hearing about “your damn emails.”
When CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper asked Sanders to clarify how he felt about Clinton’s emails, he said he didn’t want to “politicize that issue.”
“I think this is a very serious issue,” Sanders said. “I think there is a legal process right now taking place. And what I have said — and — you know, and I get criticized. ‘You know, Bernie, why don’t you attack Hillary Clinton? There is a legal process taking place.’ I do not want to politicize that issue. It is not my
style. And what I am focusing on, Jake, are the issues impacting the
middle class of this country.”
NO! They are not!
At the time Hillary was using her private email server, the State department rules did not prohibit it’s use.
Come on berns, stop lying. You are getting as bad as the gop/bags worrying about email servers for christ sakes.
Colin Powel, and Condi used private email servers, you as a senator didn’t give a shit about that.
Might have been the high-road you were looking for Sen Sanders.

This isn’t exactly the same as Trump’s juvenile thing of saying “I said I wasn’t going to say such and such about so and so” but it’s the same in principle. Disingenuous and not the kind of thing that burnishes your halo.
Jesus H Christ, Bernie. No they are not. Issues, man!
You are 100% correct. This is yet another right-wing wankfest that will amount to nothing. Hell, it might even boost Hillary Clinton’s approval rating after the GOP overreach, again.
Sanders appears to be selling out idealism for a chance at power.
