As far as I can tell, there's still no evidence she's covering up anything nefarious, but the way she's behaving it's obvious she's being disingenuous about something. She said it would be inconvenient to have two separate work and personal emails, yet she deleted 30,000 emails? That's more than a little suspicious.
i've deleted thousands of emails over the years. So have you, probably. We all get rid of the jokes and chat stuff friends and family send us all the time.

The only difference is Hillary knows how many she's deleted, because the State Dept. tracks all incoming and outgoing email traffic, including the deletions. I've never bothered to buy any soft are that kept track of my junked email.

But 30,000? She said she specifically deleted 30,000: that's an awful lot. If nothing else, it's just really bad judgment. Work and personal emails are supposed to be kept separate for a very specific reason: so the work emails, which are public record, can be easily accessed and analyzed.

I agree it's probably not that big a deal, but it just looks bad, and she's certainly given her political opponents what seems like a valid reason to go after her.

Smell that? It's desperation and fear.

Hillary is going to stomp on your throats in 2016 and all you'll have will be impotent rage.
Pretty much -- yep. This email "scandal" is going to be yet another issue that is blown out of all perspective in right wing circles skewing their grip on reality even more. Well into Clinton's second term they'll still be talking about this, but most of America won't even remember this six weeks from now.

Yeah, State Department requirements are all hyperbolic.

Why does the term "assclown" always come to mind when Hillary is mentioned?

Republicans don't have to worry about Hillary, her own party/media obviously doesn't have the faith in her that the op does.
Would love to hear what her great qualifications are to be President though.
AKA those that are not prone to lapping up every word Rush utters...

Hahahahahaha!

So you are going to play the "phony scandal" card, yet again?

That's your story and your sticking to it, eh?

Too funny.

Interesting that Hillary is barely winning 33-32 among leftwingers who voted in the poll.

I really haven't spent much time following the email saga. Hillary Clinton forever lost my vote 23 years ago, in the travel office scandal. That was where she had the white house travel office director put up on charges so that she could put her Arkansas friends into that job.

He was later acquitted of all charges by a jury after two hours of deliberations.

It's a sad commentary on the Democratic party that they didn't forever banish her from any position of power after that.
