Jon Stewart Tears into Hillary’s Email ‘Convenience’ Excuse

He promised more complete coverage of it, and he delivered.

Jon Stewart took on the Hillary Clinton email controversy, in light of the former Secretary of State’s Tuesday press conference during which she said she opted for “convenience” in exclusively using a personal email address to avoid the burdensome task of carrying multiple devices. Well, Stewart wasn’t buying any of that.

He referred to that infamous clip from just a few weeks ago in which Clinton flat-out acknowledged she has multiple devices. Stewart also suggested he’s perfectly okay with having a third party investigator look through the emails to determine what’s personal and what’s official government business.

“So just for funsies, why don’t you let somebody who doesn’t work for you look through those personal emails just to see if you miss anything?” he asked, showing his bewilderment that Clinton actually deleted 30,000 emails she thought were non-business related.

Stewart’s conclusion? Deleting 30,000 emails is far more of a “pain in the ass” than carrying around two devices.
