A Clinton spokesperson doesn't seem to understand how email works
Speaking in defense of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's inappropriate use of a personal email account for State Department business, Lanny Davis evinced an apparent confusion over the basics of how email works.
Davis, a crisis communicator who is a friend and lawyer of the Clinton family, told Fox News on Sunday 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," and "she might feel the need, traveling all over, with a hand-held device."
