JK on Clinton emails

[karynnj]

17. So, given that the emails were subject to various inquiries, it was ok the SD did not have them?

If it was so normal that HRC alone had them, why didn't HRC bother to tell the committee or the public that. Why allow months of the Republicans threatening to subpoena Kerry for his department NOT providing them? Why not just announce that she alone had them.

She has given the Republicans a gift, on any issue relating to her time as SoS, they can say that the SD records are possibly incomplete. I assume this will mean more subpoenas directly to her. I also expect more whining from anonymous Clinton people that Obama and Kerry are not defending her enough on this.

It also is not something routinely done. This is also not her private diary or journal that is her personal material. Tell me any other SoS or Secretary of any department that had an off premises server for their and their top aide's email? (Note: most of the excuses given for this unusual arrangement defy logic. Even if you accept that she needed precisely that configuration - why not have it built and maintained by the SD IT people (or someone hired specifically for that) and placed in a secure room in the SD? )

This is NOT equivalent to Ginger Rogers. Rather, she is now for the second time being handed the chance to be the nominee on a silver platter - because of the forces that support her and Bill want her as President. She very likely will be President, but it is ridiculous to argue that she has not routinely been given chances that very few politicians are offered. (Like Nita Lowey standing down when HRC wanted to run for Senate or HRC being named SoS after losing the primary to Obama.)
