34. It's the appearance of the goddamn situation that bothers me!

Sorry, she's a lawyer with extensive experience in precisely this type of issue, and she SHOULD HAVE KNOWN NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN.

For now, I will financially support O'Malley and Sanders.

There's another layer to all this. There was some sort of an FOIA action, and the private email addresses were apparently not disclosed. So now there's another layer of trouble.

She knew she was running, it was her job to prevent this type of situation, and now the voters have to deal with this.

And no, the NYT is not Freeperville:
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/04/us/politics/using-private-email-hillary-clinton-thwarted-record-requests.html?_r=0

In December, The Associated Press said its FOIA requests for records related to Mrs. Clinton’s tenure at the State Department, the oldest of which was submitted in March 2010, were not answered. In addition to requesting Mrs. Clinton’s schedules, The A.P. asked for correspondence related to Huma Abedin’s special arrangement to serve as a top adviser to Mrs. Clinton and consult for private clients. “We have not received any documents yet, despite the promised deadlines, and we are evaluating the situation,” said Erin Madigan White, spokeswoman for The A.P.


I am very sorry for those who had a lot invested in her, but that's it for me. There are no perfect candidates and never will be, but this is the type of thing that should not be tolerated in government.
