Clinton cleared of one thing, not everything

Washington Monthly has an article by Nancy LeTourneau.

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2015_09/rumors_vs_facts_on_hillary_cli057563.php

I’m posting this in GD Primaries so we can all comment on it. This article has been promoted by Clinton supporters as blanket exoneration. It is not that, not even close. It does clear her of one specific accusation in the mostly manufactured email scandal. Clinton acted appropriately in deciding which emails were personal, and could be deleted and not retained as part of the official record.

The accusation of mishandling classified information remains. I think it’s mostly BS, a result of agency turf wars and hatred of Clinton among the moronic “intelligence community.” But it’s still there, even if it’s bogus, and the Department of Justice finding in the linked article does not clear Clinton of all the accusations. Sorry, Hillary supporters, but you’re jumping the gun here. It’s likely Clinton will be exonerated of everything in time, but you’ll have to wait for it. It hasn’t happened yet.

I understand it is a small minority, but some DU'ers are asserting HRC is a felon. That's basically character assassination. This story should impact some DU'ers claims but I doubt it will.
