Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said Wednesday the Clinton campaign essentially admitted there is work-related information in the 30,000 emails she deleted from her private server.
Krauthammer made his point on the Fox News program "Special Report" Wednesday evening when asked about
Donald Trump's plea to Russia to release Clinton's emails if it had already hacked into her server.
"Well, that was his parting shot, and it was a clever thing to plant, because it is an issue," Krauthammer said. "But I do think there was something about his reference to Russia which, whether planned or not, is extremely clever.
"I'm not the first to point out that it set a trap that the Clinton campaign fell right into."
Krauthammer then explained how the Clinton campaign contradicted itself over earlier claims that the emails Clinton deleted from her private server she used for government work were all personal.
"In that statement that you showed from the Clinton campaign, it said, you're inviting a foreign power to invade our national security. Now, these are the emails that she deleted because they were supposedly private. These were supposedly not work related. These were the ones where she discusses her yoga lessons and wedding planning," he said.
"So if that's what really is in the 30,000 deleted emails, then there's no national security to be involved at all. So the Clinton campaign ends up admitting that perhaps there really is work-related, if not classified stuff, on the emails which she deleted, which I think would be the grounds for a charge of obstruction."
