5. That's the part that didn't entirely jive with the Clinton campaign being dismissive

If those emails were so sensitive that the folks looking for Top Secret stuff didn't have the clearance to look at them, then why would someone be stupid enough to stick their neck out and talk about what was in them to the media or the Clinton campaign? It's very confidential stuff.

And maybe the Clinton campaign knows they can't say anything so they can tamp this down with BS. Who knows.

I cannot see this guy McCullough writing such a letter about New York times articles (as the Clinton campaign suggested). He'd have to know he'd look like a buffoon if he did.

It doesn't add up to me. The Clinton campaign has been doing too much lying lately for me to have much faith in their take. I guess time will tell.

I was looking at the primary in terms of: if this thing blew up and Hillary had to withdraw or if they wanted to take Bernie out because the "establishment" didn't want a "socialist" after New Hampshire voted, only 32% of the primary delegates would be up for grabs because primary filing/deadlines for the other 68% would have passed. In fact, the deadline has passed for 50% of the elected delegates now.

so I think in practical terms that notion is close to dead unless Hillary hangs on and then tries to turn her delegates over to someone else.
