WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton joked about her email scandal and her history of troubles with the media Monday night when she gave a speech to a group of reporters.
Clinton made the wisecracks while delivering the keynote speech at the Toner Prize journalism awards ceremony.
“I am well aware that some of you may be a little surprised to see me here tonight,” Clinton said.
“I wanted to spend an evening with a room full of political reporters, I thought to myself: ‘What could possibly go wrong?’”
The former secretary of state told the crowd that she was ready to open up a new era of transparency and divulge all her classified information.
“No more secrecy, no more zone of privacy — after all, what good did that do me,” she announced.
“But first of all, before I go any further, if you’ll look under your chairs you’ll find a simple nondisclosure agreement. My attorneys drew it up. Old habits last.”
The event capped a full day in Washington, where Clinton spent the morning touting a renewal of cities and urban development at a panel discussion hosted by the Center for American Progress.
She also met with President Obama and tweeted a photo of the two about to embrace.

New Court Action in Hillary Clinton Email Scandal
Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration want the Clinton email scandal to go away. The liberal media may comply, but Judicial Watch is independent and is increasing its pressure with new court action.
On March 2, 2015, The New York Times reported then-Secretary Clinton used at least one non-“state.gov” email account to conduct official government business during her entire tenure as the secretary of state. It also was reported that Clinton stored these records on a non-U.S. government server at her home in Chappaqua, NY.
