Who cares? "But the other guys are corrupt too!" is not a great argument for your candidate.

We can all agree this is a problem.

Regardless of your politics or beliefs of what happened, I think a simple bit of advice is truth: If you are going to run an e-mail server in difficult circumstances then hire a System Administrator who does not need to post obviously problematic questions to Reddit.

You get what you pay for.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What amazes me is that a reddit user found it but somehow all of the FBI investigators didn't.

You are amazed a group of 100 million people knew something 6 guys in an office did not?

100 million people faffing about vs 6 full time guys who are presumably professionals in the field?

And really, it's not 100 million people. That's just the number of people on the site. In actual fact, it's probably a handful of people at most.

One of several archived copies of the r/exchangeserver thread, "Remove or replace to/from address on archived emails?"

Under a freaking user name that can be easily traced back to them. I mean, seriously?

Long-shot speculation: I wonder if the Democrats have decided that Hillary is going to lose against Trump. Maybe they, and not the GOP, are throwing her under a very fast bus.

Does anyone know what happens in the unlikely event that Clinton is placed under indictment before the election? Does Kaine move up the ticket? Does the DNC pick someone else entirely? What options do the electors have?

The actual facts aside, this makes her appear far less electable, as her campaign camp looks like it's being run by a bunch of clowns. Just from a PR perspective, this could not have come at a worse time. The collapse at the 9/11 memorial, the "basket of deplorables", and the mention of the Pepe meme on her official website. Right after a couple of muslim terror attacks, some evidence surfaces purporting that she tri…
