Re: “The Clinton deal — peace and prosperity in exchange for endless scrutiny,” March 13 E.J. Dionne Jr. column.
E.J. Dionne Jr. defends Hillary Clinton using a private e-mail account. He writes: “This actually speaks to her hard-earned paranoia about what her opponents — and the media, which in her view so often play ball with them — are willing to do to destroy her.” Really? How typical of Clinton apologists to blame somebody else for her mistakes. She likely broke the law, broke government standards and obliterated any law of common sense that says no high-ranking official should ever use private e-mail for government business. Yet, somehow it is the media and her opponents’ fault? This is a mistake of judgment and ethics and one that Clinton should be held accountable for.
