Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumFact Checkers Obliterate GOP ‘Proof’ That Hillary Clinton Had Secret Email Addresses
Heres the story. The Republican National Committee histrionically announced to the world on May 18 that they had Hillary Clinton now because her published emails (New York Times) showed two accounts (hdr22@clintonemail.com andhrod17@clintonemail.com.) and she said she only had one while in office!
(Snip)
The Clinton explanation passed two tests including one conducted for us by Ray Tomlinson, the man who is widely credited with inventing email.
The results of the test Tomlinson ran were consistent with the Clinton campaigns explanation. Score a big one for reality and a large negative for the Republican claims. And FactCheck did their own test which also confirmed the Clinton campaigns explanation:
We at FactCheck.org also tested Clintons explanation. Our IT staff createdoriginaluser@asc.upenn.edu and renamed itnewuser@asc.upenn.edu. An email sent byoriginaluser@asc.upenn.edu printed out as if it had come from newuser@asc.upenn.edu after we changed the name of the email account.
And so, at long last, there is no smoking gun for the Republicans conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton having secret email accounts (like many of their candidates and indeed politicians of both parties kind of bizarre that they want to go here with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker on their side).

(30,058 posts)the emails before and probably thought if this could lie in the grass hoping it would affect Hillary's run for the president. Since the emails have been released and they are not opening doors to push the "scandal" further I think it will just die away, secretly thrown in a garbage can.

(9,148 posts)Would have to repeat himself before the Issa, Gowdy-ites would begin to grasp how the email system works in Clinton's case.
Their brain bulbs may flicker to a slight glow, but barely get much brighter in the end.
They're fools

(44,555 posts)If the Republicans are looking for private email accounts of public officials, they could try Governor Soprano and his crew -- I mean the Chris Christie administration.
