Emailgate (or whatever the kids are calling it these days)
Hillary Clinton has been widely criticized for using her personal email when she was the US Secretary of State. Why is this an issue? Well those emails might not have been kept, it also would make emails and records harder for journalists to request if they didn’t know she used a second email address.
In response to the controversy Clinton asked that her emails be released.
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.
