Hillary Clinton has sent out another email. This one about her email.
The subject line “My Email” from “Hillary Clinton” arrived in the inboxes of supporters and followers late Tuesday night after a day when she flipped her defense on the issue and offered a simple “I’m sorry” for the scandal that has dragged her down in the polls.
Two weeks of laughing off the controversy became in her email “a complex story” and an expected drawn out process.
In fact, it is so serious that her campaign has even set up a website for frequently asked questions. For now, below is her email about her email:
I wanted you to hear this directly from me:
Yes, I should have used two email addresses, one for personal matters and one for my work at the State Department. Not doing so was a mistake. I’m sorry about it, and I take full responsibility.
It’s important for you to know a few key facts. My use of a personal email account was above board and allowed under the State Department’s rules. Everyone I communicated with in government was aware of it. And nothing I ever sent or received was marked classified at the time.
As this process proceeds, I want to be as transparent as possible. That’s why I’ve provided all of my work emails to the government to be released to the public, and why I’ll be testifying in public in front of the Benghazi Committee later next month.
I know this is a complex story. I could have — and should have — done a better job answering questions earlier. I’m grateful for your support, and I’m not taking anything for granted.
I understand that you may have more questions, and I am going to work to keep answering them. If you want to read more, including my emails themselves, please go here:

Thank you,
Hillary
