I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.

Courtesy of Reuters:A growing controversy over Democrat Hillary Clinton's use of personal email for work while she was U.S. secretary of state could drag on for months, threatening to cloud the expected launch of her 2016 presidential campaign.
Clinton tried to cool the brewing firestorm late on Wednesday, saying she wanted the State Department to release the emails quickly. But a senior State Department official told Reuters on Thursday the task would take time.
"The review is likely to take several months given the sheer volume of the document set," the official said.
That could dash any Clinton hopes of putting the controversy to rest quickly, and give her Republican foes plenty of time to hit her with allegations that the use of personal email for official duties while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 was inappropriate.
"I want the public to see my email," Clinton said in a tweet late on Wednesday. "I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible."
The other thing to keep in mind is that many of these are going to contain sensitive state department information that the review will simply not okay for release, so I expect these e-mails to be heavily redacted.
Which I am sure would have occurred whether Clinton used a private or government e-mail address.
Knowing that I do not think that the conservatives are going to let the possibility that there is a scandal connected to the e-mails die out until well after the 2016 election.
And they might well keep it going long after that.
Not that it will ultimately make any difference.
Likei said. People in dc are smart. They cover tracks. I know Hilary's a better alternative than many but she was once a highly hated person.
ReplyDeleteAnd lindatripp js just one person who's been ruined by bill
I don't even wanna know what happened to that mother who spoke out abt Obama being gay and get son being murderers. Probably rich now
Shut up, Alicia/Brooklyn/Florida Troll. You don't know shit about anything.
DeleteWTF was that 2:42 PM Are you drunk?
DeleteSomeone is having alot of fun here.
Delete3:59 PM The Resident Troll knows nothing else. She has no life.
DeleteA visitor from United States?????
Delete"Get son being murderers"? What does that even mean??
DeleteAnd suppose Obama actually were gay. So what? What difference would it make?
People in dc cover tracks. All of them.
ReplyDeleteYou're talking about a lot of people who have little education. Biden. Kerry. Are stupid of you go by grades
As opposed to you, you undereducated theater degreed wannabe reject?
DeleteWho is paying for your health insurance? Do you get disability? What will you do when your parents decide they can't or won't support you anymore?
DeleteYour comments are getting worse, Alicia/mrs messenger/kryptonite/lucy lost in the sky, stop posting while under the influence. Your juvenile comments are asinine and unintelligible.
DeleteWTF?????????
DeleteAre you ill or just illiterate?
DeleteApparently Alicia has been drinking steadily throughout the day.
DeleteI think it tries to type messages from a cellphone sometimes and hasn't really gotten the hang of it.
DeleteUneducated? Well, takes one to know one, I guess.
DeleteGeez Louise, I know Gryphen doesn't like to censor, but could there at least be some sort of sobriety requirement?
DeleteThis is nothing more than data mining to find something - anything - even remotely incriminating or suspicious. The GOP will milk this for everything it's worth and, as usual, many Democrats will share in the outrage.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hillary hasn't even declared her candidacy yet.
I'm looking forward to hearing who my fellow Democrats want as their candidate besides Hillary, Elizabeth Warren (who already said she won't run), and Bernie Sanders (who absolutely won't run).
Can they milk it for 18 months?
DeleteI don't think so.
The Public's attention span isn't that long. In a few months no one will care.
Look at BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI! Poor Darrell Issa is still trying to pillory Hillary about that despite the numerous reports stating there is nothing there. Now he'll be going over all those e-mails and still come up empty. And no one cares. We've all moved all. (Well, at least the sane among us.)
I so detest Republicans. They are a horrible party.
ReplyDeleteThey were constantly after President Obama and now they have switched to Hillary! No doubt whatsoever that they are afraid of Democrats!
Can hardly wait to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton for our next POTUS!
Maybe they just can't stand that history will report that it was the Democratic Party that was the first to put an African American in the White House and will be the first to put a Woman in the Oval Office.
DeleteBut I suspect their collected twisted panties are more a result of racism and misogyny. They are a highly biased lot.
Who wants to see the emails that Hillary sent to the State Dept. Server?
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see the ones she sent to Victoria Nuland's personal email account.
I'd rather see the ones she sent to Netanyasferatu.
I'd rather see the ones she sent as the SOS to solicit funds for the Clinton Foundation Slush Fund to other countries and big corporations and banks.
Is Hillary the only Politician's emails that you want to see? Will it be o.k. if her emails are redacted as much as Sarah Palin's emails were redacted? How about the thousands of Palin emails that were not even released?
Delete3:45pm
DeleteYou do know that all politicians are shysters and liars, right? Both sides of the aisle, any of 'em and all of 'em.
how about Colin Powell's emails when he was SOS. He used private email as well. BOTH SIDES DO IT.
DeleteI really don't care.
DeleteI have no interest in any e-mails.
Except for Palin's highly redacted ones from her personal account. Those I'd love to see.
Slightly OT, but there's a petition.

It is funny you are trying to defend the email issue so much Gryph. The emails are nothing but cannon fodder anyways. They aren't going to be the downfall of a Hillary campaign. Other things most certainly will be the downfall of a Hillary campaign, but not this.
ReplyDeleteThis broke to early and that was what it was intended to do. get this little scandal cleared out of the way before she declares.
