http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/05/upshot/voters-unlikely-to-care-much-about-the-hillary-clinton-email-furor.html?abt=0002&abg=0&_r=0"The report Monday that Hillary Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state raises a number of important questions about government transparency and access to public records.
Unsurprisingly, however, the conversation quickly veered from matters of policy into ominous speculation about the political consequences for Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic Party presidential front-runner, including hyperbolic suggestions that the emails could shake up the 2016 race, cause irreparable damage to her, cause her to lose the general election, or even help force her out of the race."

While there are troubling issues to raise, most voters aren't going to care.

other GOP pricks, they will surely disregard this story.
I hear the last thing Christie did was a backroom deal worth billions for an oil company
I mean do you need to see the money change hands

and got away with it. Using a private account for one's emails in nothing in compared to that.

then this is the usual MSM hyped to death time filler story. Dear media, I click to mute when the story comes up.

There are so many inaccurate facts written in the piece on purpose to mislead the reader.
