The Emails That Came Back To Bite Clinton

It is with regret that your blogger here must report that he was correct as far back as early-April 2015 in predicting that the private email scenario surrounding Hillary Clinton would be a real threat to her efforts to gain the White House. Indeed, in a podcast of April 9, 2015 this blogger described the problem as a "hornet's nest" that would be the "Achilles' Heel" of the Clinton presidential campaign.

As revelations of Ms. Clinton's use of a private email server for government affairs while acting as Secretary of State first emerged, she attempted to deflect and then minimize the problem. Later, when Emailgate would not disappear, Ms. Clinton admitted that she had made a "mistake" and that if she had it to do over again, she would not have handled government emails in a private fashion.
