    This is all coming to light because of Trey Gowdy's select committee on Benghazi.

    Only a hardcore evasive media cover up perpetrated by us elites will save her.

    I am deploying.

    Neither article actually makes the claim you made in the thread title.

    This is so scummy and pointless it makes me think the Clintons came up with it in the first place.

    If all these emails are allegedly gone forever and cannot be retained/reviewed/archived, then why the hell is everybody so worried about the NSA? Seems like they're not doing a great job of being evil.

    Odd stuff. Can't wait to hear the explanation for this one.

    Not necessarily. Don't waste a lot of time watching libertarians and GOP legislators try to shoehorn this into Teapot Dome, the real story is seeing which Democrats will announce now.

    Watching the Records guys freak out is a little amusing. "Short of a nuclear winter," got it, nerdburger; when's the next Iron Mountain truck.

    *Yaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnn*

    If there's one thing conservatives suck at, it's finding actual dirt on liberals. Conservatives are always getting busted for misuse of funds and affairs and other hilariously scandalous things... but all they can ever muster up in retaliation are these lame-ass ticky-tack nonsense against democrats.

    Seriously, they need to establish their own TMZ or something. This stuff is getting really boring.

    To be fair, this was in the Post and Times. Also, Congress was "liberal" for forty years and had no problem wading in corruption; media was just a lot more complacent pre-Woodstein.

    Elizabeth Warren, it's your turn to step up. Oh, and please accept my summer internship application prefferably the D.C. position and not Boston.

    Always felt as if Hillary Clinton is nothing more than the status quo and the "safe" choice.

    Doesn't sound like a big deal to me, personally.

    Warren's not getting elected President: she'll probably give back VA and Florida and would be wise to wait for a District/Supreme Court appointment. I think this particular era of transformational candidates is over, maybe throw Gillibrand in there and then let some moderates from middle America duke it out as well.

    They're saving her for Senate Majority leader.

    I'm guessing she didn't want her moves scrutinized come election year, which would've been accessible and leaked at the appropriate time. Leaking her own words out of context is more powerful than leaking anything she did given the right timing of a campaign.

    Sure, this feeds into the "what is she hiding" Bengazi angle, but Hillary should be used to blind Republican attacks to issues where there aren't any.
