Krauthammer Sounds off on Hillary Email Dump, Explains Why He Thinks 'Whole Release Is a Farce

Conservative political pundit Charles Krauthammer reacted to the release of the first batch of Hillary Clinton emails, calling the "whole release" a "farce."

"This is an echo of what her own press secretary said, who said there isn't a shred of evidence. And as I've said there is no shred of evidence because she shredded the evidence. This whole release is a farce," the syndicated political columnist said. "What is being released now ... is stuff that was scrubbed and cleansed and decided upon, chosen by her own people, acting in her own interest, rather than ... people with obligation to the public."

"So we are getting the cleaned up version," he continued. "And I think they are succeeding, the Clinton people. Because everybody is hungrily looking through stuff pre-scrubbed. They are not going to find anything. The Clinton's are secretive and deceptive, but they are not stupid."

Krauthammer then explained how he thought the process will benefit Clinton in the presidential election.

"Whatever is indicating has been scrubbed and removed. So we are going to have this long saga of the release. She will take the credit for, 'I asked for it to be released, I wanted it to be released.' But it's the wrong stuff. And when people attack her later in the campaign, she will say it's all been released, the press has looked at it," he said.
