Hillary Clinton, before taking questions at yesterday’s press conference:
“Now, I would be pleased to talk more about this important matter, but I know there have been questions about my emails, so I want to address that directly and then I will take a few questions from you. There are four things I want the public to know. First, when I got to work as Secretary of State, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account-which was allowed by the state department- because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails, instead of two. Looking back, it would have been better if I had simply used a second email account and carried a second phone, but at the time, this didn’t seem like an issue.
Hillary Clinton, answering a direct question at yesterday’s press conference:
QUESTION: “Why did you opt out of not using two devices at the time,? Obviously if this didn’t come out, you wouldn’t, probably wouldn’t, become an issue. …”
HILLARY CLINTON: “…as I said, I saw it as a matter of convenience, and it was allowed. Others had done it. According to the State Department, which recently said Secretary Kerry was the first secretary of state to rely primarily on a state.gov e-mail account. And when I got there, I wanted to just use one device for both personal and work e-mails, instead of two.”
Hillary Clinton, two weeks ago, during a fawning interview by Kara Swisher of Re/Code:
QUESTION: “I’m going to ask the big question. Iphone or Android?”
HILLARY CLINTON: (Laughter. Then…) “Iphone. But, okay, in full disclosure, and a Blackberry”.

Hillary Clinton, always: Liar.
