The Hildabeast, the Crown Prince, and email

Give me your best shot, boys

When you consider that Hillary Clinton sat up a private email server offsite at the very beginning of her tenure as Secretary of State, and never used an official government email address, you do have to wonder if some sort of deliberate strategy was at work.

Over at FOX BNN (Bush News Network), they will tell you it had everything to do with hiding Benghazi, etc.  Of course Benghazi hadn't happened in 2009.

There was a deliberate strategy at work, and it did take into account FOXworld and their predicable reactions.  Hillary without doubt, had a plan in mind in 2009, and it did not necessarily, or primarily involve hiding emails.  What it did probably involve was setting up the Republican Party, their propaganda mouthpiece, and their nominee, Jeb Bush.  Hillary has had a long history with that "vast rightwing conspiracy" and knows how to feed, manage and provoke it to her advantage.

This recent email flap, and its implications, provide both the GOP stalwarts in Congress a golden opportunity to overplay their hand and come up empty in their various investigations, and a golden opportunity to focus media attention on Jeb Bush and his own email problems, which are likely just beginning.

The Clintons always gamed their opponent in 2016 would be Jeb Bush.  Everything they have done is predicated on that.  If the GOP, in a moment of rare originality and political courage, offered up another, actually electable opponent, then the team over at Clinton headquarters might start to worry.
