Hillary Clinton's email controversy is something to be
concerned about even if she didn't break any laws.
Clinton had a server installed in her Chappaqua, New York
home in January 2009, just before she took office as secretary of State. She
used a private email address on that server for all of her State Department
business emails and not a government address, which is more secure, even though
State Department rules required her to do so.
Critics say that since Clinton used a server which she
controls, there is no way to prove she didn’t hold back or even delete emails
she didn't want seen if subpoenaed.
That's a valid concern. But let's give her the benefit of
the doubt and say she has not hidden any emails. Even then, there are reasons
for concern.
The very fact that Clinton clearly installed the server for
her to use for all her State Department correspondence makes it looks as if she
is buying an insurance policy just in case she needed to hide any of her correspondence.
We buy homeowners insurance in case of a disaster striking
our house. Most people never have to file a claim, but we buy insurance just in
case there is a fire, flood or storm.
Clinton appears to have bought insurance just in case she
did need to hide emails. And that's troubling.
I want the public to see my email. I asked State to release them. They said they will review them for release as soon as possible.
