to bring up the e-mails?

Sort of like using the State of the Union address to apologize for overdue library books.

She will give her speech. Then she will have a press conference. She isn't using her speech to bring up the emails.

No, she shouldn't have done this, but they are making hay out of this at the Dems expense and continuing to not only hide it in Wisconsin, but they to make laws saying there can be no further investigation into it.

While there is one piece that is similar, the private email system, there is the huge difference that many of his subordinates are under indictment for things that they are said to have done. That is not true in Hillary Clinton's case.

She can and should explain why she set things up as she did and how she will handle the emails now that she is out of office -- ie she already sent them to the State Department. (Note: I am not a Clinton fan, think this a self inflicted wound (that is not deep at this point and which she is getting first aid for), and that the worst effects will be that it revives some of the worst HRC memes and that it will require a large amount of work by the State Department to deal with these boxes of paper copies.)

On the other hand, Walker's main problem is not his emails, but illegal actions that occurred all around him.

His is worse. And he gets a pass and feels that he can jab at HRC. She has done less than him and has to go public to the media (and rightfully so). At the very least, he and every other loser running for the GOP should have to do the same.

Just because that is NOT the issue all over the internet at the moment, doesn't mean it had no visibility before and won't later.

The Clinton issue is front and center because it was disclosed only last week. What is clear is the initial plan to stay silent as the Clinton allies (Carville, Begala, Davis etc) bashed everyone who suggested there could possibly be a problem did not work. (Me, I think it backfired)

I hope that she has the ability to address this by speaking of what she is willing to do to fix things now. (Hopefully her people have a better idea than the self selected 55000 page PAPER dump on the State Department. If curious, read the daily briefing where reporters badgered Jen Psaki to explain the number of boxes and whether they were packed "willy nilly".

I never even cared much when it was done in Bush's time.

I care much more about the letter the idiot Republican senators sent to Iran. It not only was disrespectful to the president, it made the US look foolish. As if the right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing. Their behavior was disgraceful.
