> So, anyone with a brain realizes this is a political hit job leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

This. Recall that only a few weeks ago, the leading republican candidate was falling all over himself announce that he was publishing all his emails from his time in office. In the seemingly desperate rush to make a spectacle of it, he didn't even redact the emails [1], and released a big pile of private data as a result.

Also, given the state of the State Department's computer network [2], who can blame her? But the most telling part is that she wasn't even the first Secretary of State to do this, she was the last.

I don't say this because I'm a supporter, it just seems like obvious political theater being run by the rival camp and merits being called out. Personally I'm disappointed that both the Clinton and Bush campaigns aren't being laughed off the stage. Political aristocracy is repugnant and has no place in this country.
