Well, the whole thing started because, the amount of time it took to release those emails turned out to be longer than her entire term of office. The fact or rumor (hard to tell which) that she was also conducting state business using accounts outside the official email accounts intentionally added fuel to the fire. If they have to redact sensitive government info, that I can see. Of course, if you have to look at every email and have to decide what is official and what is not, it gets to be pretty tedious and time consuming. That would lead one to ask the following questions: Are they hiding something? If so, what are they hiding?

This is the problem for politicians who want to make media access one-way. Once you start doing stalling tactics on material you don't want to get out, all you are doing is postponing and enlarging the feeding frenzy. Of course, what comes out later might end up influencing the current presidential campaign.
