http://www.politicususa.com/2015/05/23/factcheck-busts-republicans-proof-hillary-clinton-secret-email-addresses.htmlHeres the story. The Republican National Committee histrionically announced to the world on May 18 that they had Hillary Clinton now because her published emails (New York Times) showed two accounts (hdr22@clintonemail.com andhrod17@clintonemail.com.) and she said she only had one while in office!
(Snip)
The Clinton explanation passed two tests including one conducted for us by Ray Tomlinson, the man who is widely credited with inventing email.
The results of the test Tomlinson ran were consistent with the Clinton campaigns explanation. Score a big one for reality and a large negative for the Republican claims. And FactCheck did their own test which also confirmed the Clinton campaigns explanation:
We at FactCheck.org also tested Clintons explanation. Our IT staff createdoriginaluser@asc.upenn.edu and renamed itnewuser@asc.upenn.edu. An email sent byoriginaluser@asc.upenn.edu printed out as if it had come from newuser@asc.upenn.edu after we changed the name of the email account.
And so, at long last, there is no smoking gun for the Republicans conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton having secret email accounts (like many of their candidates and indeed politicians of both parties kind of bizarre that they want to go here with Jeb Bush and Scott Walker on their side).

That seem possessed of the need to believe, as well.
