A public affair over Clinton’s private emails

Despite being discovered more than two years after Clinton stepped down from the office, the information continues to cause controversies that in the light of incoming 2016 elections may have especially dire consequences. Deemed Democrats’ presidential candidate-to-be, the former Secretary of State has a lot to lose if the public opinion rules against her.

The use of a personal email account, while dealing with strictly confidential government data, raises many red flags, and yet, it was only two months ago when Clinton’s habit caught the attention of the State and soon the journalists. In response to the change in the record-keeping practices, the State Department decided to gather all Clinton’s correspondence from the time when she served as the Secretary. However, when she turned it over, it appeared that approximately half of it was missing.

Clinton admitted deleting 30,000 messages from her account, claiming that they were “personal” and therefore irrelevant for the State. According to her, they regarded her daughter’s wedding, her mother’s funeral, yoga routines, family vacations, and “the other things you typically find in inboxes.” Worth sympathy in the eyes of the public, the explanation remains not convincing enough for privacy experts, who claim that the use of an account other than the one at state.gov should be limited to the emergencies at best.

Yesterday, the Associated Press announced that it is suing the State Department over Clinton’s case. And while the former Secretary of State is publicly calling for the disclosure of her official correspondence, she continues to deny an outside review of her private server where the mail was stored.

According to the lawsuit, the State Department will have 20 days to turn over the records to the AP. Meanwhile, Clinton will be busy recuperating from the incident and gathering her strength before the official launch of the 2016 race.
