These candidates are human beings. And, each of them have lived busy lives full of complications and mistakes. It is not hard to find a mistake and exaggerate its importance.

Every answer leads to three more questions. If any document no longer exists, then it must have been destroyed as part of a cover-up. It's an easy game to play. That's why I ask about the existence of any significant actual damage. If none can be found, why am I being asked to play this ridiculous game? Why are folks trying to convince me that this really is important? Anything can be made to appear important just by spending a lot of time on it.

I ask about significant actual damage related to this email issue and no one seems to know of any. How can I avoid the conclusion that the issue is worthless for purposes of evaluating Clinton as a candidate?
