Pelosi: GOP inquiry on Clinton email hypocritical

WASHINGTON – House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is mocking a Republican investigation of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s email practices, calling it part of an ongoing attempt to investigate Clinton, “whether it’s her emails or it’s her hair.”

Pelosi said Thursday that calls for Clinton to turn over her email server to a neutral third party were hypocritical, since no similar demands were made of other secretaries of state.

Pelosi says the GOP inquiry “isn’t really about emails,” but instead is a partisan investigation by a select committee that has spent millions of dollars and produced “nothing.”

Clinton is a likely Democratic candidate for president in 2016. She has said she relied on personal emails while serving as secretary of state. She says the server “will remain private.”
