Still No Answer on the 15,000 New Emails

Earlier today we heard that the FBI turned over more than 15,000 work related documents from Hillary Clinton that Clinton herself had failed to give to the government as required by law.  Hillary supposedly had her people go through over 60,000 emails to separate private stuff from work-related items.  Then, Hillary gave copies of some 30,000 emails to the State Department.  The new stuff turned over by the FBI means that about half of what Clinton and her people held back from the State Department was actually work related items that Clinton was required to turn over.

This is big stuff.  Just in terms of sheer numbers, the number of emails that Hillary wrongfully withheld is staggering.  It makes many of her prior lies look like small potatoes in comparison.  That's why I figured that by now we would have gotten some explanation from Clinton or her campaign as to what had happened here.  Many hours have gone by, however, and all we have gotten is silence from Hillary and her campaign.  They seemed stumped about how to lie their way out of this one.

The Clinton campaign knows that it can put a spin on its answer that the mainstream media will likely repeat.  Even the mainstream media, however, needs to have a storyline that it can repeat without looking idiotic.  It's really hard to explain why one would only provide two out of every three emails and make that explanation look plausible.  Instead, we are just getting silence.

Maybe CNN should put a .clock on the corner of its feed.  It can run until a plausible explanation for all this is offered by Hillary.  I doubt we'll see any such answer prior to the election.
