Henniker, N.H. — Hillary Clinton just can’t seem to shake doubts about her e-mails.

On Saturday, the Democratic presidential candidate blasted Republicans for politicizing the Benghazi attacks even as she ignored a Democratic voter’s question about her use of a private server as secretary of state.

The event, a Q & A here at New England College, was aimed at reaching out to the young Democrats who have heavily favored Clinton’s opponent, Bernie Sanders. Almost immediately, one student asked Clinton about the “scrutiny” invited by her e-mails and her role in the Benghazi attacks. Her response was blunt: Benghazi has already been investigated nine times, she said, and former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice also used private e-mail addresses at Foggy Bottom.

“This is an absurdity!” Clinton said. “But will Republicans give up on it? Of course not. Because they want you to have these doubts.”

At least one Democrat in the crowd, Brooklyn native Alexandra Corbin, was not satisfied by that answer, and said as much when she took the microphone ten minutes later.

“First I’d like to say I worked for you eight years ago,” she told Clinton. “But I’d like to go back to the first question.”

“Your answer [on Benghazi] continues to give me some doubt,” Corbin continued. “What seemed to come out is that you were pushing the video paradigm when you were writing an e-mail to your daughter.”

I understand that — but you had a private server. So these are the things that are lingering . . . ”

Here, Clinton cut her off. “Well, let me answer,” she said. “Look I said I’m here to answer questions. Let me take them one by one, the best I can.”

“The first claim of responsibility for Benghazi came for a group, a terrorist group that claimed responsibility,” Clinton began. “And after that happened, that’s when I communicated with my daughter.”

And that was it. Though she had promised to answer Corbin’s questions “one by one,” Clinton moved on to the next questioner without addressing her private server.

“She flubbed it. She mucked it up,” says Corbin, who spoke to National Review a few minutes later. “She didn’t answer the second part of the question.”

“That was a canned response that she has been giving about the former secretaries of state having their own e-mail. But she had her own server. Square the circle.”
