Hillary Rodham Clinton is getting the third, fourth and maybe the fifth degrees over this server business.
The Democrats’ presidential frontrunner is under fire over the way she handled e-mail communications while she was serving as secretary of state and her use of a personal e-mail server to conduct State Department business.
She cut off a press conference when the question kept coming about the server issue and whether she destroyed information that belongs to the public.
At one level, this continuing investigation has partisan politics written all over it. Republicans do not want her to become the 45th president of the United States; thus, it’s understandable that they would do whatever they can to deny her the office.
The e-mail controversy — and I refuse to call it a “scandal” — has given them a quiver full of ammo to fire at former secretary of state.
She said today she did everything that is prescribed by law and insisted she broke no laws.
On a human level, I understand her continuing frustration over the continuing coverage of this matter.
On another level, though, I want this matter settled. She has turned her server over to the Department of Justice. My hope is that Clinton will answer all the questions posed to her.
At some point it will have to become as obvious to the rest of the country — as it is to Clinton — that the investigations into the e-mail matter will produce zero criminal culpability.
Therefore, all the politicians involved in seeking to undermine her candidacy will realize they are doing more damage to themselves than they are to her.
First things first, though. Hillary Clinton needs to deliver all the goods about this e-mail business for thorough public inspection.
