The New York Times reported yesterday that Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record. Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act.

It will be interesting to watch this story play out of the coming weeks and possibly months, if not throughout the 2016 election season. There will be expected media reactions: - the Democrats and leftist media will try to coverup the accusations by saying this is done regularly by other politicians from each party - the media will position it as a non-issue, and therefore giving very little news time to the story - the Republicans and the right leaking press will have it as a top 5 story until something comes out to confirm or quiet the controversy

We will have to wait and see how the facts develop before we can comment on this story further.
