Did the State Department Throw Hillary Clinton Under the Bus?

short snip - please go to link

Hillary Clinton doesn't say anything here about why the State Department asked for her emails—though it was hardly a secret that they were responding to obsessive congressional inquiries about Benghazi. What she did say is that State also asked three other former secretaries for their emails, which is what the State Department says as well.

There's also alleged to be a "discrepancy" between Hillary's timetable and State's. But what is it? Apparently State first contacted Hillary informally in July, at which point one of her aides retrieved the emails and began going through them to decide which ones were official and which were personal. In October, State officially asked four former secretaries (Clinton, Rice, Powell, and Albright) to provide their email records. Hillary provided hers in December.

I don't get it. I'm not seeing the problem with this. Hillary's staff began the process of retrieving emails as soon as they first heard from State, and turned them over within a few months. What's the issue supposed to be here?

In any case, the truly gobsmacking thing here has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. Can you figure out what it is?
