About the Email Stuff: IMO it's to help Clinton confuse the issue and play the victim card

I'd read these closely. The State Dept has always had Clinton's back.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/29/the-state-department-concludes-there-is-top-secret-material-in-hillary-clintons-email-correspondence-from-her-time-as-secretary-of-state/

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/22-top-secret-hillary-clinton-emails-wont-be-released/

Not sure if these are NEW top secret emails or what was found before. Plus, there were plenty of other classified emails.

Obama and the State Dept has always had Clinton's back. Do you think anything has changed?

Note: It could also help her explain if she loses, or if Microsoft manipulates things and the results don't match the polls....

"State Department spokesman John Kirby said the documents were not marked classified at the time they were sent."

from a few days ago of her talking about the emails and she said something along the lines of being embarrassed by her lack of technical savvy. Could this possibly be the way she's going to try and weasel out of this?

Mrs. Clinton compromised national security ... that is all we will hear about from now until election day if we have the misfortune of her being nominated.

And she will most assuredly lose.
Yes, even now to Trump.

This is overclassification run amok. We adamently oppose the complete blocking of the release of these emails. https://t.co/77s6mtm0JA

not to defend obama and state department but i don't think this can be dismissed as trying to help her.

This story is out and it gets back to her biggest trouble.feeling she is dishonest and untrustworthy.

But there are plenty of things to disagree with her on other than this email thing.

It is not her fault that there were no real guidelines in place as to electronic communication. She did nothing that those before her did not do, simply because there was no policy in place to deal with it.

It reads like a witch hunt. I'm caucusing for Bernie, but this email non-scandal is not the reason.
