AP’s Lisa Lerer: Slow Release of Emails Will Be ‘Bad News for Clinton’

‘It wouldn’t be an issue for [the Hillary campaign] if they had operated the way the government would prefer you to operate’

LERER: “It took a court order for the State Department to finally begin Hillary Clinton's e-mails from her personal address in a timely manner. That's what happened this when a district court judge gave an order that the agency must start releasing batches of her e-mails on a monthly basis, starting at the end of June. That's bad news for Clinton campaign which now is going to face the slow drip of e-mail news that comes out just every month, there will be a spate stories. Clinton aides argue that that's fine. Any voter who had been influenced by these e-mails, probably it wasn't all that gettable for them. Anyhow Republicans obviously see this very differently. They're salivating at the prospect of these things coming out and we will have to see what happens in the next few months.”
