Sanders on Clinton email server: Superdelegates 'keeping it in mind'

Bernie Sanders is still not jumping on rival Hillary Clinton's controversial private email server but said a recent report condemning her actions is something voters and superdelegates will have to take into account.

"Now, you're right — the Inspector General just came out with a report, it was not a good report for Secretary Clinton. That is something that the American people, Democrats and delegates are going to have to take a hard look at," Sanders said in an interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "But for me right now, I continue to focus on how we can rebuild a disappearing middle class, deal with poverty, guarantee health care to all of our people as a right."

A State Department report released last week said that Clinton broke department rules when she set up a private email server during her tenure as secretary, and the system would not have been approved if she had sought permission before setting it up.

"Well John, they will be keeping it in mind," Sanders told host John Dickerson when asked about the effects of the report. "I don't have to tell them that. I mean everybody in America is keeping it in mind, and certainly the superdelegates are."

Sanders recognizes it's probably time to care about Clinton's "damn emails".

1. Bernie offering passive-aggressive appeals to the Indictment Fairy nt

[Barack_America]

2. Still holding on to that fairy thing, eh?

Then I guess what we witnessed this week was thousands of people; media, politicians, voters suddenly believing in fairies.

[geek tragedy]

3. Yes, no indictment coming. Might as well hope for Santa Claus to intervene nt

[Barack_America]

7. Oh, she'll be protected from indictment, but you're way too confident...

...that the FBI won't recommend it.

There are instances in which they have no choice, and I think one of those happened here.

[geek tragedy]

15. Not everything you see on Fox News

about Hillary is true.

[Demsrule86]

19. We witnesses a media rating war

corporate media...but even there the truth came out in more than a few media outlets...Forbes and Newsweek come to mind.
The right wing crap you all read ...are not read by Democrats generally...

[Demsrule86]

17. Bernie

Bernie becomes more pathetic every day...it is like the old vaudeville movies where they used a hook to drag the person off the stage...we need a hook. Bernie, you have sued,insulted and pretty much worn out your welcome in the Democratic party...the supers always vote for the candidate with the most delegates...so after June 7th, it is bye bye Bernie.

[Renew Deal]

4. This week Hillary won at least 12 supers and Bernie won 1

Tells you what they think about it

[Tarc]

5. Nice to see the Bernie supports the disenfranchisement of Democratic voters

[Barack_America]

8. No, Hillary did that by lying about her server for the past year.

But thanks for playing.

[Tarc]

9. 3,033,824 votes, 270 pledged delegates

Let me know when you have an answer to that.

I'll wait.

[TwilightZone]

14. That makes no sense whatsoever

Your record is skipping.

[99Forever]

6. Bernie also recognizes...

... he doesn't need to push this issue, it has strong legs of it's own and it's only a question of time before it destroys any remote chance of the Clintons ever holding the WH again.

10. 3,033,824 votes, 270 pledged delegates

20. 1972

Nominee Richard Nixon George McGovern
Party Republican Democratic
Electoral vote 520 17
States carried 49 1 + DC
Popular vote 47,168,710 29,173,222
Percentage 60.7% 37.5%

And we know what type of person Nixon was. He was not a crook according to him.

[Tarc]

22. That's why, thankfully, we aren't nominating Sanders, the epitome of a McGovernian candidate

[HereSince1628]

11. I am not sure it has legs... or what the meaning of having legs is.

If on Wednesday, it's still generating column inches of reporting, and column inches of op-eds by editorial boards, then I'll think it's got legs strong enough to wear boots made for walking.

[99Forever]

12. As it has been said...

"The worm has turned."


This isn't going away. It's a slow-motion train wreck that will only gain momentum. The drip, drip, drip is fast becoming a steady stream that will become a flood.

The only real question is whether the Democratic Party will allow this to take them down with her or get ahead of it and do the right thing.

[gordianot]

13. Watergate was a third rate burglary discounted by almost everyone.

How many lives and careers did it destroy?

[Barack_America]

16. Pretty much.

The FBI will probably only recommend indictment if a foreign government got her emails.

The excuses why that's "so unfair" will be special.

[vintx]

18. This. nt

[amborin]

21. the IG report is huge revelation of wrongdoing that many millions were unaware of
