State Dept. posts Clinton aide's documents found on Weiner's laptop

The State Department on Friday released portions of 2,800 emails and other documents belonging to former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin that were recovered by the FBI last year on Abedin's estranged husband Anthony Weiner's computer last year.

While the newly released emails have been seized on by conservative activists who have long been critical of Clinton's treatment of classified emails as secretary of State, the FBI already said in 2016 that a review of the emails didn't change the bureau's opinion that Clinton shouldn't face charges over email handling.

The Friday release came after a 2015 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch against the State Department seeking the release of emails containing "official State Department business" sent or received from Abedin from January 2009 to February 2013 using a non-State Department email address.

    This isn't an us vs. them scenario here. It is a problem with the system. Bush, Obama, Trump, they're all symptoms of a fucked up system. Playing whataboutism to support "your team" which is currently the most blatantly corrupt of all time really illustrates your values.

    Then why are you playing the moral equivalence card here? Why are you undermining a legit complaint? Whose "team" are you on?

    Nothing wrong with pointing out problems, but try for better context than "nuh uh your side is grossest!"

    And when are you going to start doing that? You have to prosecute the powerful for crimes they committed. Else there is no point to whining about the corruption. Notice the previous AC blew off a variety of crimes as "sloppy practices". Well, guess what corruption is. It's just a sloppy practice that happens to consist of a bunch of crimes.

    And what will happen in 4 or 8 years? Another AC complaining about the most corrupt administration ever while ignoring the crimes of the former Trump administration?
