CNN’s Costello: Using Personal Email Seems like a ‘Dumb Move on Hillary Clinton’s Part’

COSTELLO: “So why would Hillary Clinton do such a — gosh, I don’t want to use the adjective I have in my head. So why would she do this?”
AVLON: “Well, the best case scenario, it’s kind of prevent defense against “gotcha” politics. But it clearly shows both — one can assume, an awareness that these e-mails could be used for political purposes going forward, and an instinct not to be transparent. This is a proactive decision by Secretary Clinton in the time that her aides in the administration did not call her on. And even though they said they’ve handed over 55,000 e-mails, to date as Brianna said, they may have thought they were occupying within the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law, they can say that but it’s hard to believe. This is clearly, you know, not a person embracing transparency. This is a person trying to control their message.”
COSTELLO: “OK, well, I’ll say what the adjective was in my head. It just seems kind of — kind of a dumb move on Hillary Clinton’s part because surely she knew that this would come out at some point in time.”
