Of course…
The State Department said a clerical error on its end is to blame for the confusion that arose Tuesday over when officials first withheld an email that revealed Hillary Clinton was using a private email address.
Tuesday morning, the watchdog group Judicial Watch said it got a letter from State that said it withheld that email in November, 2014. That prompted Judicial Watch to claim that State appears to have withheld the email to keep it from seeing Clinton’s private email address.
The group noted that State’s failure to release the email in late 2014 meant everyone had to wait until early March, 2015, when Clinton’s private email was first reported.
But State told the Washington Examiner that due to a low-level clerical error, its letter should have said that State withheld the email on July, 2015. That date implies that State had no reason to withhold the email to keep Clinton’s email a secret, since it was already publicly known at that point.
