Following Hillary Clinton’s press conference addressing her decision to use a personal email account to conduct official State Department business, her office released a nine-page document on Tuesday explaining her email use.
The document addressed why Clinton used a personal email address and server, detailed the rules regarding email use, and laid out what steps Clinton has taken to release the emails related to her work as secretary of state.
Earlier on Tuesday, Clinton said that she had turned over about 55,000 pages of work emails to the State Department after being asked. But she said she did not keep emails related to her personal life that were stored on her server.

This provides a pretty good prism for through which to view HRC …
Last word on this. So, Benghazi bullshit is swirling around you and you know they have the long knives out and sharpened, and ,yes, the law places the burden of disclosure on the official in this case, but… You decide to call in your personal attorneys to decide what’s relevant and delete the rest? Hold on! You’re the Hillary friggin’ Clinton, former Secretary of State and Presidential hopeful and the Republicans are on you like white on rice!
Doesn’t it occur to you to bring in someone to oversee the process who would be considered beyond reproach? How about a Republican like Alan Simpson for this. How about Chief Justice Roberts? Why not close this door forever and not give them the ammunition?
No, they go with the in-house Clinton legal team.
At least concede the point that this is ridiculously stupid and out of character for this machine.
(Transplanted from the other thread because I’m fucking done with getting deliberately misinterpreted by people looking to ignore the political implications and reflexively defending this)
Nine pages of shovel work which ought to be reduced to nine words:
I did it. I broke the law. So what?
Sincerely,
HRC
Someone beyond reproach Alan Simpson. Come on, you can’t be serious. you must be kidding.
Total bullshit. No law was broken nor even any Agency policy. In short you are talking out your ass.
