Long-time trusted Clinton confidant James Carville inadvertently admitted over the weekend on ABC's This Week that Hillary Clinton probably used a private email address and server in order to avoid Congressional oversight or scrutiny.
"I suspect she didn’t want Louie Gohmert rifling through her emails," Carville said.

Carville attempts to defend Clinton by claiming she followed the law and slammed investigative Republicans like Congressman Louie Gohmert, while at the same time admitted the very problem with Clinton's email secrecy: a lack of transparency and avoidance of accountability during her time as Secretary of State.
But not everyone on the left is defending Clinton. Liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd published a brutal op-ed yesterday, Open Letter to hdr22@clintonemail.com, on Hillary Clinton's latest email debacle. Dowd is calling Hillary's private server the "Clinton Republic of Chappaqua." Here are some of the juicy pieces, but it's worth reading in full (emphasis is mine).
It has come to our attention while observing your machinations during your attempted restoration that you may not fully understand our constitutional system. Thus, we are writing to bring to your attention two features of our democracy: The importance of preserving historical records and the ill-advised gluttony of an American feminist icon wallowing in regressive Middle Eastern states’ payola.
If you, Hillary Rodham Clinton, are willing to cite your mother’s funeral to get sympathy for ill-advisedly deleting 30,000 emails, it just makes us want to sigh: O.K., just take it. If you want it that bad, go ahead and be president and leave us in peace. (Or war, if you have your hawkish way.) You’re still idling on the runway, but we’re already jet-lagged.
When the Rogue State of Bill began demonizing Monica Lewinsky as a troubled stalker, you knew you could count on the complicity of feminists and Democratic women in Congress. Bill’s female cabinet members and feminist supporters had no choice but to accept the unappetizing quid pro quo: The Clintons would give women progressive public policies as long as the women didn’t assail Bill for his regressive private behavior with women.
Keeping a single account mingling business and personal with your own server wasn’t about “convenience.” It was about expedience. You became judge and jury on what’s relevant because you didn’t want to leave digital fingerprints for others to retrace. You could have had Huma carry two devices if you really couldn’t hoist an extra few ounces. You insisted on piggybacking on Bill’s server, even though his aides were worried about hackers, because you were gaming the system for 2016. (Or even 2012.)
It depends upon what the meaning of @ is.
Ouch.
Although Hillary Clinton has been pounded by the press for her latest email secrecy and potential violation of many federal laws, including the possibility she committed a felony, other potential 2016 Democratic nominees have remained relatively quiet about this scandal, even saying they're already tired of it as former Maryland Governor and potential 2016 nominee Martin O'Malley said last week.
Team Clinton is hoping this all blows over, but according polling, government corruption is a top concern of voters. If that position holds, Clinton and Democrats who support her will have a problem on their hands moving in the presidential election.
Three House Committees are investigating Clinton's private email use. The State Department is being sued by the Associated Press over Freedom of Information Act requests that have gone unanswered for years and Judicial Watch has issued new FOIA requests for Clinton's emails, threatening lawsuits if they aren't fulfilled.
I wish I could post pictures.

Remember the bogus NY Times story when Bush 41 went to a grocery store and was amazed by the price-scanner? He was dubbed as “out of touch” with America.
So when Hillary lies about needing 2 devices if she needed 2 email addresses (I access 4 emails on my iPhone), she’s given a pass. My guess is that half of her constituency is well under 40, and knows this as I do. But do they utter a word? Nah - we cannot diminish our Queen!
Because Louie Ghomert is the problem.
I guess Carville never heard of FOIA. Any of us can rifle through her emails.
Serpenthead is a supreme idiot.

Didn't MoDo go along with Bill's roguery? Honestly I can't remember, but I probably would remember if Mo had been the only member of the claque to speak out against the Razorback-in-Chief.
If she didn't speak out against The Bent One back in the '90s, then she accepted the "unappetizing quid pro quo" too.
At least she admits it now, when doing so can't hurt her - or be of much help.
Well, I guess it can help in the project of finding an alternative to Hillary, who is probably not electable.
“Remember the bogus NY Times story when Bush 41 went to a grocery store and was amazed by the price-scanner? He was dubbed as “out of touch” with America.”
How about when Bill Clinton readily admits he’s only sent two emails in his entire life? Wouldn’t that be decried as “out of touch” if a Republican said that?
The irony in this is that Louie Gohmert's main focus has been Huma Abedin, not Hillary!
Rep. Louie Gohmert calls critics of Huma Abedin letter “numbnuts” — including John McCain
Rep. Louie Gohmert, who wrote a series of controversial letters last week with four other members of Congress alleging ties between a State Department staffer and the Muslim Brotherhood, called critics of his letter “numbnuts” on a radio show Tuesday.
There you go. Katie Pavlich.
If ‘feminists’ keep covering for liars, rapists, and enablers they'll get more of the same ... It's like the mother of the bully - "I won't punish you this time but if you ever do that again, I'll tell your father"... repeat the same line for years and little monsters becomes big monsters.
Yes, Maureen - the press can stop enabling thugs...
Draw a line. Give the same scrutiny to Democrats you give Republicans. In a few years you'll start getting candidates you can be proud of without having to air brush away their filth and lies every five seconds.
There was another election night when he wore the paper bag over his head the whole show. One thing you have to admire about Carville is that he does have a sense of humor and admits when he is wrong. This is very rare in those circles.
The assumption behind this is that she SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT ARE ILLEGAL (for others)
because she can inherently be trusted to do the long term, big picture “good thing”.
I have suspected Hillary was doing a lot of emailing for the Foundation; surely she did not want anybody knowing about the “pay to play” emails, and of course she could not put any of that information on a government computer.
So, while I’m guessing, I can’t help but wonder if the 30,000 she erased were foundation emails.
And, the info I saw was that the server was stored in their home in NY; but then I read that it was stored in Bill’s NY office; which made it cozy and accessible to Bill as well.
The Clintons lie so much; how will we ever find the truth?
19 posts, Maureen Dowd mentioned in article and not one CZJ picture.
Either we moved away from that or we need remedial Dowd 101.
The Katie Pavlich pic is a good plan B.
