How bad is Hillary Clinton’s email scandal? Pretty bad.

The former first lady’s attempt to hide thousands of pages of official records by conducting all official business through a secret, insecure private email system has put the American public in the dark. Short of asking the Russian or Chinese intelligence services, who likely have everything by now, there is no way for the people of this country ever to know whether their government has a complete record of Clinton’s official work product at the State Department.
