The Hillary Clinton e-mail "scandal" appears to be essentially blowing over at this moment. Evidently, she possibly did not break any laws after all. At least the facts don't necessarily point in that direction. It will take time to sort the matter out.
That leaves the question of whether she was trying to cover up anything. According to Maureen Dowd of New York Times fame, both Clintons are secretive to a fault. Oh, I suppose so. Most modern Presidents have been secretive, including Barack Obama.
But there was something seedy about the criticisms of Mrs. Clinton in this matter, as if one were looking to find a scandal, any scandal, in order to ruin her.
This, of course, doesn't give Hillary Clinton a clean bill of health. But let us hope this 2016 campaign can be first, honest and genuine, and second, substantive. Dwelling on what kind of e-mail Hillary Clinton used, especially if her e-mails become available, doesn't seem to pass muster.
