Charlotte Observer editorial: "Why Hillary Clinton’s real problem is more than just emails "
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/editorials/article80156007.htmlIt’s not enough to be able to say no hard evidence shows hackers ever breached the home-brewed email system she used while Secretary of State. It’s not enough to say that some officials in the State Department, White House and other federal agencies knew she used a personal email account for official business.
And it’s certainly not enough to protest that Colin Powell did it, too, during his tenure.
With a presidential election looming in November, this is about trust – whether voters can trust her to be forthcoming, honest and transparent. Whether she understands that the rules everyone else must follow apply to her, too.
As the damning new report from the State Department’s inspector general shows, Clinton has left ample room for doubt, even among those generally inclined to support her.
