Hillary's latest email flap explained (it's a nothingburger)

Clinton’s people explain that the billionaire, Mr. Chagoury wasn’t looking for a favor, but actually wanted to share information about Lebanon with the State Department.

Nancy Cordes says there’s also another email involving Doug Band from the Clinton Foundation, written to Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

“Band reaches out in 2009 on behalf of a job seeker, writing that it is, ‘important to take care of (this person), whose name is redacted.’ Huma Abedin writes back, assuring Band that State Department personnel has been sending him options.”

But it turns out this unnamed job seeker was just a 20-something former Clinton staffer looking for work, not a rich donor looking for influence, and had nothing to do with the Clinton Foundation.

So that’s the latest email story. I apologize if it wasn’t as interesting as the Trump Second Amendment quote or the guy suction-cupping his way up the Trump tower, but we do what we can.

1. this columnist doesn't think it's important

he compares it to Trump's 2nd amendment remark, but what about the issue itself?

2. What issue itself? The 20-something former employee who was interested in other jobs?

Or the Lebanese guy who wanted to pass along info that he'd heard about?

3. It's a non story, but not for lacking of trying by some of our "allies" here at DU.

4. What a boring thread. (That's a compliment.)

5. You are bringing back some memories with Dave Ross

I miss listening to him and Mike Webb years ago.

I didn't know the job seeker was an intern.
