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.
In 2001, when George W. Bush’s transition team began moving into the White House, they encountered a remarkable amount of sloppy housekeeping, missing items, and petty vandalism from the outgoing Clinton team.
Stage 2 of the Hillary email scandal has been achieved, as yesterday’s “confused old lady who didn’t understand how email works” defense utterly collapsed with the Associated Press’ discovery that Clinton’s mail server was located in her house and was registered under the name of a man who does not appear to exist.

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.
