Hi everyone! If you've been following the news the past few months, you may have noticed that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has been criticized recently for her use of a private email in her time in the State Department. The main issue was that, by using a private email, she didn't need to release her emails to the public.
Today, the State Department released 296 emails sent by Secretary Clinton in her time in the State Department.
The department stated that the first set of emails released would be given to the House Select Committee on Benghazi, which talk mostly about the attack on the facility that has often been a focal point of the criticism surrounding Clinton. Many argue that this latest email scandal plays into Clinton's reputation as being seemingly above the rules. The Committee on Benghazi has stated, "The emails we release today do not change the essential facts or out understanding of the events before, during, or after the attacks, which have been known since the independent Accountability Review Board report on the Benghazi attacks was released almost two and a half years ago."
The question now remains - can Clinton shed her reputation as seeming high and mighty and above the rules by which al others abide, or are these emails only the most recent unfolding that uphold such a portrayal?
