Viste letter: Clinton emails

The real “scandal” of Clinton emails is that the news media and the FBI are obsessed with it. What crime could be committed by email? It would have to be deliberate passing of classified material to unauthorized parties. The chances of finding Clinton guilty of anything like that are nil. They might find some inadvertent mishandling of classification but that could happen in any office that handles classified material, including the FBI. The nonstop covering email by the media is distraction from real issues and totally irresponsible journalism. This election is too important than to be decided by trivia.
