In an op-ed for FoxNews, Paul Goldman, the former chair of Virginia’s Democrat Party, put forth an interesting premise regarding his pal Hillary Clinton. His argument boils down to one thing: Hillary’s emails and what is in them does not matter. Yes, he wrote that with a straight face. A few highlights:

To all this I answer: At this point, fair or not, what’s in this new batch of emails is not likely to settle this debate. Those looking for exoneration are as likely to find more exasperation: those searching for proof of worse mistakes are equally likely to be disappointed.

One person’s molehill is another’s one mountain in this controversy: and at this point, roughly one-half year into the back and forth, where you stand is based on where you sit.

The point being: After all that has transpired to date, perception may have already become reality to most Americans, indeed most commentators, not to mention defenders and detractors, on both sides. Or put another way: Another batch of emails isn’t going to change the bottom line.

“Another batch of emails isn’t going to change the bottom line.” OH REALLY?  Let’s take a look at one of the gems from the emails released last week:

In a recently released e-mail from January 3, 2010, she personally messaged an assistant, wishing her a Happy New Year, and then offered a demand list to start the year off: I’d like to work w you to prepare a menu for Jason. Also does he give me a monthly bill for the food he buys and prepares for me? Could you or he buy skim milk for me to have for my tea? Also, pls remind me to bring more tea cups from home . . . Can you give me times for two TV shows: Parks and Recreation and The Good Wife?

As you may recall, in this July post, we pointed out that Hillary missed cabinet meetings, doesn’t get along with fax machines, and more. By mid-August the number of classified emails traveling around on her numerous devices and hanging out on her private server had risen to over 60. Now that number is over 200 and a staffer, who may or may not have had top secret clearance, was hired to run her private server. He’s the one pleading the 5th in hopes of not landing under the Hillary Scooby Van.
