Bloomberg Politics Managing Editor Mark Halperin stated of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s handling of her email scandal, “I have never in my career, dealt with a presidential campaign who’s as unresponsive to basic questions” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Host Joe Scarborough said, “why didn’t the FBI go in and seize the server? There was classified information on the server, there was classified information on the thumb drive. Why was this a voluntary exercise for six months? Why — where were you, FBI? Where were you, Justice Department? Where were you, State Department? You had classified information outside your control. A private citizen had classified information. You had no idea what was out there. And you did nothing for six months, and allowed a citizen to decide whether the classified information was going to be taken over or not? Explain that to Americans. You need to explain

Harkin: ‘It’s Past Time For a Woman’ As President
Former Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), who recently endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, said, “It’s time for a woman. It’s past time, as a matter of fact, for a woman president” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” Harkin was asked whether it would be “good for the party” if Vice President Joe Biden entered the race. He answered, “Look, I’m not giving advice to anyone on this. But, as you know, Joe is also a great friend of mine, in very long standing. He has provided a great service, not only to Delaware, but to our country. And I can say that, in terms of Joe Biden, we haven’t heard the last of him, in terms of, what he can offer to the United States, in the future.” He continued, “But, what this calls for right now is Hillary Clinton.

Christie on Hillary’s Email Jokes: ‘Her Arrogance is Breathtaking’
Monday on the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Republican presidential candidate Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) slammed Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton for joking about deleting the emails from her tenure of Secretary of State and wiping her server clean. This weekend, Clinton joked that she likes using Snapchat because the program makes the messages disappear, to which Christie said, “Her arrogance is breathtaking. It’s breathtaking. Mrs. Clinton, this is not about politics. Why don’t you just answer this question? Why’d you have your own private email server? I worked for the federal government for seven years as a US Attorney. It was made clear to all us when we walked in the door, official business is done on your official email account.” He added, “So, this is not about politics. Answer the question. All this other stuff, it’s the typical approach of the Clintons, where when they’re in trouble, they blame

Woodward on Clinton Emails: ‘Reminds Me of the Nixon Tapes’
Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward said of Hillary Clinton’s emails, “It, in a way, reminds me of the Nixon tapes” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Woodward stated that allowing Clinton and her lawyers to decide whether to turn over information was “unprecedented,” and “follow the trail here. You know, there are all these emails. Well, they were sent to someone, or someone sent them to her. So, if things have been erased here, there’s a way to go back to who originated these emails, or who received them from Hillary Clinton. So, you’ve got a massive amount of data. It, in a way, reminds me of the Nixon tapes. Thousands of hours of secretly recorded conversations that Nixon thought were exclusively hers — his, that he was not going to get them. Hillary Clinton initially took that position, I’m not turning this over. There’s going to be no cooperation. Now, they’re cooperating. But,

McCaskill: Hillary’s Email Scandal: ‘A Good Old-Fashioned Political Witch-Hunt’
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) called the accusations against Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, who turned over her private server to the FBI four days ago after it was wiped clean, “a good old-fashioned witch-hunt” on Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “Secretary of State Clinton was not the first secretary of state to use personal email, but she is the only one that has turned over tens upon thousands of her emails, and asked them to become public. Now she’s turned over her server. What this has turned into is just a good old-fashioned political witch-hunt,” McCaskill said. Follow Trent Baker on Twitter @MagnifiTrent
