Hillary Clinton Pre-Election Email Primer—What You Need to Know

Please read and share: http://stupidpartymathvmyth.com/1/post/2016/09/hillary-clinton-pre-election-email-primer.html

"Summary: There is (still) no “scandal” here.

It turns out Hillary and her people were pretty careful. The focus has been on Clinton simply because she is a controversial figure running to be president, a focus which has distracted from the real issues of over-classification and how classified material is shared within the government. The media generally has not presented proper context, and has gone for more salacious ostensible low-hanging-fruit that confuses and misleads, but even the FBI seemed to miss the bigger picture. Here is my effort to rectify these deficiencies and present the bigger picture of what may be the least understood and most confusing “scandal” in modern American politics."

"the fact that this all arose from investigations born out of efforts to politically damage Hillary Clinton always meant that she, not these other important issues, would be the focus. It would have been useful to task the FBI investigators with recommendations for reform, but this was not done. If anything, Clinton herself has been a distraction from the real problem at hand: reform of a system that few seem to have confidence in or respect for under certain important conditions, a system that is outdated and not taking into account more rapid forms of information dissemination that are common in the twenty-first century. But that has been lost in the conversation. And that itself is a true scandal."
