Cherdano views the cited article as clearly exculpatory of Clinton.

If you take the time to read it it just shows how Clinton will run her win.
I grant those who support her don't care...just win and destroy those in govt who try and stand up to her.
Don't take my word for it, follow her actions as she destroys those who cross her.
I want to focus on the third sentence but mike always goes ape if he is not quoted entirely so I have put it all down. "don't care" is an overstatement and I have no interest in destroying "those in govt who try and stand up to her". I just don't have that interest.
Starting from the beginning. Two accounts would be terribly inconvenient. Really? As mentioned I have kenbecky, my personal account, and a krb account through the University. Far from being an inconvenience, I found it natural and convenient. I visualize HC at a meeting: "Hold on a minute, Vlad, it's my personal phone, probably Chelsea. She has been having trouble with the decorators. I have to take this. "
No. You handle the personal stuff when you are back at the Embassy or at home. If you find that you have to send a message such as :"Bill, go ahead and eat without me, this meeting with Angela is going to take a while." it's ok for this to go on the business account.
Then she got the order to turn over the stuff that she had. Much has been made of the timing. She had sent the order to delete before she got the order to turn stuff over. Ok, but here is what I would then do/say: "Well, if stuff has been deleted then it has been deleted, but I am sending a message today to tell them that anything that remains should be kept, absolutely should not be deleted". I once had problems with the IRS. When I moved two things happened. I lost some records, and I didn't realize I had lost them. When the IRS contacted me I figured out what had happened, I made all possible effort to do a clear and honest recovery, and everything went fine. Of course I don't have a lot of enemies out to get me, so it is not exactly comparable, but it seems clear to me that she could have and should have done better.
Now I will flash forward to the latest. There are messages on Weiner's computer. Huh? Abedin does not know how they got there. Huh? The story, such as it is so far, seems to require a klutziness that I find stunning. Emails arrive. They have to be printed. They are moved from the HC account to a Yahoo account on the Weiner computer so they can be printed. Really? And then Abedin doesn't know how they got there?
The story is always "Well, it all could be just as Hillary says." And I can't prove that it isn't. In How to Marry a Millionaire Betty Grable is having dinner with a married man and {quotes approximate) it goes something like
Man: This is all innocent, isn't it?
BG: If it is this is the first time I have ever found it to be so in similar circumstances.
That's a pretty good description of how I see this.
I see that Chelsea has now been brought into this. I haven't read it yet and I might well not. Chelsea is an adult and she has been part of this campaign, but I am very much hoping she does not get dragged in. This whole campaign long ago exceeded all previous limits on repulsiveness.
