You say "Hillary's team forwarded it to Drudge" but Drudge never said that. He only said that he "obtained it". Well thieves "obtain" possession of the contents of a safe also. Some sloppy journalists have fudged words intentionally or unintentionally (I think both). Obama's campaign has fudged words to when they say things like Clinton's staff circulated the email without noting that they circulated it among themselves. And when the Clinton campaign did not deny the story, it was the Drudge story that they did not deny, and all that story did was say they had a copy of an email sent between some Clinton staffers. The Clinton campaign did not deny that such an email had been sent between Clinton staffers. That is all.

Here is one tidbit from ABC News that I caught on The Raw Story this morning:

(If it really is the work of someone associated with the Clinton campaign, it has atypical fingerprints all over it -- and it's an interesting call on a day where Clinton is giving a "major" speech on foreign policy.)"
