Every time you hear "personal" wrt the emails, read "Foundation"

Because that is the likely bulk of the emails that she/they wanted concealed.

Emails about Foundation pay for play as it was juxtaposed with Sec State influence.

We know that a lot of tangential business was done between her aides and Bill Clinton's foreign travel to meet with people who later donated to the Foundation.

And so we should assume that "personal" = Foundation.

Huma Abedin was concurrently employed by four entities, two of which were the State Dept and the Foundation. That may be why she got her own lawyer.

And 30,000 "personal (foundation) emails" were deleted, probably attempting to hide any Quid Pro Quos....

But the media is falling for this "personal" framing to mean yoga and so on.

Very cleverly framed, HRC. Very clever.

For example: How do you explain to simpletons how mineral extraction raises the standard of living of despots?

And another: How do you explain to morons in language they can understand how wars without end bring profits without cease plus democracy?

PS: Great post, grasswire. You summed IT up.
