The Morning Joe panel ripped into Hillary Clinton Wednesday for variations between her campaign and the State Department over why she turned over her emails from a private server.
"So much happened yesterday, it’s hard to keep track," Scarborough said.
Despite repeated iterations from the Clinton campaign that the release of her work-related emails was a response to a routine records request made to all former secretaries, the State Department told The Washington Post that is not the case. Clinton’s own State Department conflicted with her story, noting that the record request was completely prompted by discovery of Clinton’s unusual and unorthodox use of a private email system for official government business.
"In the process of responding to congressional document requests pertaining to Benghazi, State Department officials recognized that it had access to relatively few email records from former Secretary Clinton," State Department spokesman John Kirby wrote in an email. "State Department officials contacted her representatives during the summer of 2014 to learn more about her email use and the status of emails in that account."
"All I know is that they sent the same letter to everybody," Clinton told the Des Moines Register.
Critics have accused the State Department of protecting Clinton by refusing to condemn her actions and not complying with multiple records requests. Scarborough said he believes this new report is a sign "the State Department has had enough" and predicted similar stories to leak in the near future.
The discrepancy between Clinton and the State Department is only one of many damaging stories to come out Tuesday night for Clinton. Reports surfaced the FBI has been able to recover "personal" emails Clinton deleted from her server before turning it over. Despite promising otherwise, more of Clinton’s previously undisclosed emails on Benghazi have been found. The documents were withheld from Congressional investigators and occurred during a months-long gap in Clinton’s email record.
"For a campaign that wants to get on to other issues, the headlines just keep going and this FBI investigation just keeps churning," Scarborough said.
