(61,218 posts)1) She did use her own server and made no effort on her own to give the State Department pertinent email to archive.
2) She did not 100% follow what she and Bill Clinton agreed to on contributions to the foundation. The fact is that very agreement would have protected her from any of these questions.
Both of these things are NOT speculation. I COULD list a long list of things that are speculation relating to these, which you are kind of daring me to do, but THAT would be the wrong thing to do.
She is a very strong candidate and NOTHING I wrote here hurts her in the least. What potentially could hurt her - in the general election unfortunately -- would be if these things THAT SHE DID are seen as part of a pattern of ignoring rules. (Fortunately for use none of the dozens of Republican possibilities are likely clean enough to use this and none are particularly appealing.)
That said it is pretty unseemly for HRC fans here to be whining when anything not positive is said of HRC.
