> I oppose state secrets and the Hillary e-mails are actually very chilling when you start reading through them.

Weren't they from the DNC leak? The DNC is not affiliated with the US state. I read some of the mails, and I found nothing chilling so I'm curious to know what chilling mails you found.

I'd like the answer to that, too. From everything I've read, this seems to be FUD.

I think what's chilling is the inconsistent application of the law regarding sensitive information (for example, emails).

Secretary of State Clinton, who deletes government emails and communicates state secrets through her own private email server, receives no punishment, while people who blow the whistle on questionable government behavior receive maximum punishment.

That lack of consistency in applying the law is what makes it unfair...for everybody.

You're on a different subject. What was chilling according to the parent was the contents of the leaked emails. The private email server controversy had nothing to do with that.
