There’s a news story in the current cycle about Hillary Clinton apparently only using her private email, not gov’t email, while Sec. of State. Her camp says she did nothing illegal or improper (not an exact quote). Meanwhile some are aghast, going so far as to say she put the country at risk.
We know that there were let’s just say some email issues in the Bush admin, too. Such things are not unheard of or even rare, however else we might characterize them.
My question is mainly for those who are essentially supporters of Hillary Clinton and/or those who have been open to the possibility of voting for her, should she run and secure the nomination. Does this affect how you feel about supporting her?
I presume anyone else is delighted by this turn of events, so I don’t really need to ask them how they feel about it.
I am an opponent of Mrs. Clinton, and very likely won’t vote for her. I will likely vote Republican (although I make room for the possibility that the GOP will field a candidate so awful that I will vote for Clinton after all).
Your presumption is that I’m delighted by this turn of events.
But I posted a thread in GD ten hours before you started this thread, in which I said:
Of course, some of those with an axe to grind against Secretary Clinton are now piously announcing their great concern for transparent retention of e-mail records.state.gov accounts of her staff, where that e-mail was properly retained as a record.
This is manufactured outrage.
