The Fox News Channel and Special Report host Bret Baier finally received their first chance in the 2016 election to extensively question Hillary Clinton through their Democratic Town Hall on Monday and, put simply, Baier did not waste the roughly 30 minutes of airtime as he posed hard questions on Libya and her private e-mail server scandal.

Following an opening question about Michael Bloomberg’s decision to not run for president, Baier prefaced the other questions by noting that he wanted “to ask you questions that haven't come up in town halls or debates.”

The first such topic was on Libya and Baier noted that she was “the leading voice in the Obama administration for the intervention” and while it was successful in removing Muammar Gaddafi, “Libya now is in total chaos.”

Citing a U.N. official who stated that ISIS has “take[n] advantage of the political and security vacuum and is expanding to the West, East, and South,” Baier wondered to Clinton: “If the intervention of Libya was one of your great foreign policy successes, is the post-intervention transition one of your greatest failures?”

Clinton responded by citing the long-held desire in the U.S. to dispose of Gaddafi plus the fact that “the Libyan people have voted twice in free and fair elections for moderate leaders trying to get themselves to a better future.”

As for the current state of affairs in the North African country, Clinton merely brushed it off as “deeply regrettable” and the country would be similar to Syria “if there had not been that intervention to go after Gadhafi.”

Baier followed up by challenging Clinton on this outlook (which Clinton deflected): “Sure, but there are people who say Libya is a failed state and they're concerned about ISIS getting power. Would you put U.S. troops on the ground in Libya to prevent ISIS from gain a foothold?”

A few minutes later, Baier turned to her ever-growing e-mail scandal and the reality that “FBI investigation is still hanging over your campaign and there are Democrats who are worried about another shoe dropping, potentially with the word that there's immunity for your former IT staffer Bryan Pagliano.”

Highlighting her inability to answer a question about it in Sunday’s CNN debate, Baier asked: “I've heard others say that neither you nor your lawyers had been apprised that you are a target of the investigation. Is that true?”

When Clinton confirmed that point, Baier inquired whether it was the case concerning “any members of your current or former staff are targets of the investigation.” Clinton stated that they had not, so Baier shifted slightly to the issue of classified e-mails: “At the time you and your staff deleted nearly 32,000 emails, about half of the total volume, were you aware that the server was going to be sought as evidence by federal authorities?”

Not surprisingly, Clinton elaborated on how she believes she never sent anything classified:

Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified and specifically, with respect to your question, every government official, and this is a legal theory — not just a theory, it's a legal rule, gets to choose what is personal and what is it official.What we turned over were more than 30,000 emails that I assumed were already in the government system, Bret, because they were sent to state.gov addresses.

Baier shot back that this wasn’t the case as there were some “just recently discovered and turned over” but Clinton again denied it. In an exchange that’s unlikely to see any play on the Tuesday morning network newscasts, Baier pressed again:

Let me just clarify, the State Department has redacted and declared 2,101 of your work e-mails classified, at least at the confidential level, 44 classified as secret, 22 classified as top secret. So you said at a March press conference in 2015, quote: “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. There is no classified material.” So can we say definitively that that statement is not accurate?

Clinton replied: “No, you can't. Here's what happened, the State Department has a process for determining what is or isn't classified. If they determine it is, they mark it as classified.”

Before moving on, the FNC anchor tried once last time:

BAIER: So your contention now is the 2,101 emails contained information that shouldn't be classified at any time, they should be — now or then, you're just saying it shouldn't have been classified? CLINTON: Well, what I'm saying is, it wasn't at the time.
