In reply to the discussion: It's not a flip-flop. Seriously, let it go. [View all]Oilwellian

I'm amazed to see Clinton supporters are in the dark on this very serious issue. I don't think it'll be going away anytime soon, and it is, quite frankly, a problem for her campaign.
WASHINGTON
As pressure builds on Hillary Clinton to explain her official use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, she faced new complications Tuesday. It was disclosed her top aides are being drawn into a burgeoning federal inquiry and that two emails on her private account have been classified as Top Secret.
The inspector general for the Intelligence Community notified senior members of Congress that two of four classified emails discovered on the server Clinton maintained at her New York home contained material deemed to be in one of the highest security classifications - more sensitive than previously known.
The notice came as the State Department inspector generals office acknowledged that it is reviewing the use of personal communications hardware and software by Clintons former top aides after requests from Congress.
We will follow the facts wherever they lead, to include former aides and associates, as appropriate, said Douglas Welty, a spokesman for the State Departments inspector general.
Despite the acknowledgment, the State Department inspector generals office has left numerous unanswered questions, including exactly who and what is being investigated. The office initially declined to comment and referred questions to the Intelligence Community inspector generals office, which said it is not currently involved in any inquiry into aides and is being denied full access to aides emails by the State Department. Clinton, herself, is not a target.
The expanding inquiry threatens to further erode Clintons standing as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Since her reliance on private email was revealed in March, polls in crucial swing states show that increasing numbers of voters say Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, in part, because of her use of private emails.

Personal accounts was common practice, but so far classified in those accounts is new.

If he had added "Let's wait for the FBI and Congress to finish their investigations"

I think it actually is a flip-flop. But it's not one that will do much damage on a national level.

Well, team Clinton has spent so much time lying about the emails, it's an easy mistake to make.

Yes, when I said "State" I was referring to later statements by State's spokespeople. (nt)

Some folks made that suggestion after the debate. I didn't think they were right at the time.

All you will get for your efforts is more bullshit, propaganda, and obfuscation.

You started with there's no FBI investigation at all, later admitted this was false.

He goes from not wanting to hear about it to calling it a valid investigation.
