CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: It's a total dodge and given the structure of the press conference she was able to succeed in dodging. One of the problems I have to say is reporters ask two questions or three. That is an invitation for anybody on the other side to escape the question. You ask one question and then you stop and then the person who is holding the press conference has to actually answer it. She slipped away from a couple that way.



I think what is going to happen on her part is this. She has decided that stonewalling works. Obama has shown it works on a lot of stuff. A lot of their scandals have been stonewalled and they go away. Within a week or two what you are going to hear from the Clinton apologists is going to be it's old news. And that's going to be the story. Her calculation is, 'Yes, I will be damaged a bit with the press because of the stonewalling but infinitely less than I would be if anybody, an objective observer were to go through and look at the e-mails.'



BRET BAIER, SPECIAL REPORT: Quickly, if you were a Clinton supporter, this is a stretch of a question, but if you were, do you see any silver lining in today?



KRAUTHAMMER: No. But I think that if you stonewall well enough you can succeed.



JUAN WILLIAMS: Let me just quickly say this. The silver lining is she said she made a mistake. She said that. She said that she should have used two separate e-mails. She said she should have used two phones?



KRAUTHAMMER: You believe she means it?



WILLIAMS: Well, I'm just telling you, In terms of silver lining which is the question from our anchor.



BAIER: She said it would have been better had I simply used a separate account. I mean, that is as close as we got to contrition.



WILLIAMS: Right. But I do think that is saying, listen, this is a mistake.



STEVE HAYES: The one thing that comes out of the press conference is a guarantee that the story grows from here because she answered only one question and that question was the server will remain private which spawns dozens of other questions.



KRAUTHAMMER: It is the ultimate in pseudo-contrition and I don't think anybody watching it could have any other idea.



WILLIAMS: Even you as a Clinton supporter. But I'm saying others -- of the Democratic party, I noticed in the polls, including one today in the Wall Street Journal, it's just not gaining traction.



KRAUTHAMMER: Well, perhaps they underestimate the capacity of her supporters for self-deception.



WILLIAMS: Last word Charles Krauthammer.
