6. Let's not use Bush as an excuse for Clinton!

Mar 2015

I hope the Bush email scandal becomes as big as the Clinton email scandal has become, but in the end he DID release his emails even if it was 7 years too late.
My concern is that with the lawsuits over the FOIA now filed, including from the AP that this will drag out the scandal through the primaries (if there are any primaries) and into the general election.
The smartest thing Clinton could do, this weekend, is to turn over the server. Even if she doesn't legally have too, or even if it is an "invasion of privacy". She could end it here. Although it may not seem fair, or right, when someone decides to run for President I think they do lose some privacy, and what they aren't upfront about becomes fodder to their enemies.

Another suggestion NO MORE CLINTONS OR BUSHS!!!!!!!
