\"hillary-emails\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The worst case hasn’t yet arrived with regard to the Hillary Clinton e-mail controversy.<\/p>\n

However, it’s a lot closer than the presumed Democratic Party presidential frontrunner would like.<\/p>\n

I won’t yet call this matter a “scandal.” It would elevate to that level if we found out that the classified e-mails that went out on the former secretary of state’s personal server got into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

The Obama administration today revealed that 22 e-mail messages that went through Clinton’s server have been labeled “top secret.” Clinton had said she didn’t knowingly<\/em> send out sensitive material on the server.<\/p>\n

The administration now says it won’t release the e-mails to the public because — that’s right — they are top secret!<\/em><\/p>\n

We won’t be allowed to see what’s in them, which is just fine by me.<\/p>\n

Most troubling, though, is that the e-mail messages very well could have gotten into the hands of those seeking to do serious harm to this nation.<\/p>\n

We’ll need to know <\/a>the truth about how those messages traveled through cyberspace containing the highly sensitive national security information.<\/p>\n

Of course, the political ramifications of this revelation ramp up the stakes for Monday’s Iowa caucuses, where Clinton is locked in a tight battle with Sen. Bernie Sanders; former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is running a distant third, but suddenly he emerges as a potential spoiler.<\/p>\n

Clinton is beginning to suffer from some trust issues with voters. The administration’s acknowledgment that the e-mails carried top secret information into potentially unsecured locations out there into the Internet universe could do serious harm to a candidacy once seen as unstoppable.<\/p>\n
