Apparently Hillary Clinton has no idea how computers work. Or at least, that's what she suggested Tuesday at a press conference in Las Vegas, where Fox News' Ed Henry dogged her with questions about her email scandal, in which Clinton used a private email account and server while serving as secretary of state. The issue is now being probed by the FBI, and government officials report that Team Clinton tried to wipe the server before handing it over to the feds.
"Did you wipe the server?" Henry demanded of Clinton Tuesday. Frustrated, Clinton finally replied, "What, like with a cloth or something?"
In case there was any confusion, Clinton explained, "Well, no. I don't know how it works digitally at all."

As Talking Points Memo notes, Clinton wasn't quite done. As she walked away from the podium, another reporter shouted, "Is this an indication that this issue isn't going to go away?" Clinton quipped, "Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys."
