Hillary Clinton Addresses Personal Email use - Blythe Taylor



   In a press conference at United Nations headquarters, Hillary Rodham Clinton answers questions about her use of a private email account while she held the position of secretary of state. During the press conference, Clinton explains that she used one email account for convenience. "Looking back, it would've been better for me to use two separate phones and two email accounts,”.  On March 11, The Associated Press sues the U.S. State Department for the release of Clinton's email while she was secretary of state. This latest legal action follows several previous requests by Associated Press, including one made five years ago. Filing the suit under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, the Associated Press is asking for correspondence relating to the Osama bin Laden raid and National Security Agency surveillance practices as well as emails with people likely to be involved in Clinton's probable campaign for the 2016 presidency.


   I think this is a ridiculous matter and I don’t understand why it caused such a large up-rising. A question that popped in my head while reading about this was, is it because she is a big female politician and people are just trying to turn a small mistake to a large scandal, because of sexist reasons. Many think that sexist times are over but they still play a part in our society today.
