The far-fetched argument is that Clinton will be indicted and found guilty for setting up a private email server while she was Secretary of State. At the CNN/Univision debate Wednesday, moderator Jorge Ramos asked Clinton if she was indicted if she would drop out of the race. Clinton quickly rebuffed the question. “Oh for goodness— that is not going to happen,” she said. “I’m not even going to answer that question.” Clinton was grilled about her private email account early into the primetime debate, responding to questions about who gave her permission to create and used a private email server during her time in office. She admitted that her failure to use a government account was a “mistake” but held that it was not prohibited during her time in office. ## Transcript I think that what we've got here is a case of over classification. I'm not concerned about it. I'm not worried about it. And no Democrat or American should be either. [ APPLAUSE ] The questions were Secretary The questions were, who gave you permission to cooperate? Was it President Obama? There was no permission to be asked, it had been done by my predecessors, it was permitted. I didn't have to ask anyone. If you get indicted would you [ INAUDIBLE ] For goodness, that is not going to happen. I'm not even going to answering that question. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/"},"headline":"Watch Hillary Clinton Rebuff a Tough Question on Her Emails","datePublished":"2016-03-10T02:51:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-05T08:49:39.176Z","description":"\"I'm not even going to answer that question.\"","url":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","2016 Election","Debates"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta9c3439356f755b9/69888a693c16390eb945c602/democratic-presidential-debate-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-election-2016-01.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta9c3439356f755b9/69888a693c16390eb945c602/democratic-presidential-debate-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-election-2016-01.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TIMEPOL Hillary Clinton","caption":"Democratic presidential candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participates in a debate in Kendall, Fla. on March 9, 2016.","creditText":"Carlo Allegri—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/","name":"Watch Hillary Clinton Rebuff a Tough Question on Her Emails"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Clinton Rebuff Question on Emails","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/5iIlrXXb/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-03-10T02:26:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/5iIlrXXb.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/","duration":"PT33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4253514/hillary-clinton-emails-jorge-ramos-indictment/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
