The Hill reports for us that the email thing is really all a stupid misunderstanding:

Bill Clinton: Claims Hillary threatened national security a 'load of bull'

Here are the take-aways:

"I think the simplest way to say it is look, there’s a long-running dispute between the State Department and the intelligence agencies. It hadn’t been resolved at the time. It didn’t occur to people at the time that all these 300 people should be doing records classification all the time," he said. "They had a different system. That is not a cause for distrust. If it were a cause for distrust, it is inconceivable that all these prominent national security people, who were active in other administrations, including Republicans, would have endorsed her.

Here's the inevitable victimization (notice the false equivalency between Kerry's email account AND A BLOODY UN-PROTECTED AND UNAUTHORIZED SERVER):

"Her adversaries are very good at doing reverse plastic surgery and the truth is that it was a mistake for her to use her personal email, even though her predecessors had and her successor John Kerry did for a year until it was no longer legal," he said. "But she should have known there’d be a different set of rules applied to her if she ever ran for president."

Here's the set-up for those statements:

Former President Bill Clinton summed up claims that his wife and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton threatened national security with her private email server as "the biggest load of bull."

Taking questions from reporters at the Asian American Journalists Association convention Friday, Clinton railed against the classification system that resulted in Hillary Clinton having sent and received classified information on an unsecured server while secretary of State, according to reporters on-site.

“They say two little notes with a C on it. This is the biggest load of bull I ever heard," Clinton said. "That were about telephone calls that she needed to make. And the State Department typically puts a little C on it to discourage people from discussing it in public, in the event the secretary of State, whoever it is, doesn’t make a telephone call. Does that sounds threatening to national security for you?"
