In 2007, at the “Take Back America,” event held by the Campaign for America’s Future, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, a candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, criticized George W. Bush’s administration for so-called “secret emails.” Clinton said, “We know our Constitution
Despite what some writers may attempt to claim, Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is unlike anything else happening with any other political figure, now or in the past. It’s a unique attempt to avoid scrutiny, manipulate official correspondence and thus control the historical narrative.
It doesn’t matter. That’s what some in the media have insisted about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s decision to use her own private server and email address to avoid public scrutiny for her entire tenure. David Brock, wild-haired henchman
Hillary Clinton gave the game away long before she set up her personal email account. In a 2001 video clip, then-Sen. Clinton explains she didn’t want to use email because it could cause trouble during investigations.

Hillary Clinton set up her obfuscation.com email account the same day as her confirmation hearings to be Secretary of State began. She intended all along to use a personal email account rather than a government one, which effectively gives her control of the historical record.
So much for open government. Hillary Clinton admits she never used an official email account while she was Secretary of State. Instead, all her correspondence was through a personal account.
In trying to clear the air, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may have gone too far and released personal information — including Social Security numbers — contained in emails he exchanged while in office 15 years ago.
Read some email, win a prize. Breitbart calls for citizen journalists to help review former Gov. Jeb Bush’s document dump.
The actual facts of the story do not support the headline and opening paragraph of this Sony leak report in The Independent. My reading of the actual story is that Sony should be applauded for its decision to cast Denzel
