Interesting timing of this revelation.

Is the idea to attack her early so it burns out early, or is this genuinely to attack her? These articles really read like an episode of House of Cards.

  I expect to see these kinds of things released/rehashed periodically until the conclusion of the race, or until Hillary drops out. That goes for the R's candidates as well.

  Honestly I don't think the haters are capable of exercising restraint when it comes to attacking Clinton. But if you want to be an optimist about humanity, you could assume that the timing of or level of attention given to this reveal is unrelated to election cycles and merely the natural pace of a crime being revealed and prosecuted.

Yeah, after the personal email she used for state business was hacked. How did she possibly discuss classified materials?

Regardless if it is to stile a political run or to get the damage over and done with this is the type of behavior by top officials that needs to stop. Is Kerry doing similar? Who else is? There seems to be a concerted effort by the Administration and/or those in it to hide communication from the official record, being Hillary Clinton or Lois Lerner. What happens to her because of this obvious effort to conceal is the most important aspect of the case. Will she get the wrist slap like Pretraeis and other friends of Washington get? Likely. Whereas everyday citizens are hounded to death by AGs and the like. To be honest, government officials taking actions like this need to be treated like the criminals they are, they are purposefully betraying the public trust and hiding behind the power of their office and names to do it. The real one percent in Washington

  > Is Kerry doing similar? The article says "Secretary of State John Kerry uses a government email account, and his correspondence is preserved as part of the department’s record-keeping system."

    Wouldn't any similar article from two weeks ago say the same thing about Hillary?

    From a Washington Post[1] article: > Clinton was not the first secretary of state to use a private account. The State Department said Clinton’s successor as top diplomat, John F. Kerry, is the first secretary to use a standard government e-mail address ending in “state.gov.” [1] http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-used-private-e-mail-for-government-business-at-state-dept/2015/03/02/275d13d8-c156-11e4-9271-610273846239_story.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-used-...

      If you read the article linked here, the law was changed in 2009, partly as a consequence of the 2007 scandal in which some Bush emails weren't preserved because they were run off of a server managed by the RNC. The agency must make sure that emails are being retained according to law. In any private enterprise that must retain records, there is exactly one way to do this: you use your employer's email server, which has a long audit trail and dedicated compliance officers.
