From the WaPo linked article:

“This has nothing to do with who is in the White House,” said a senior State Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing probe. “This is about the time it took to go through millions of emails, which is about 3½ years.”

Yeah, sure, of course: an investigation completely unrelated to the campaign of 2016: just a coincidence of timing….

State Department officials vigorously denied there was any political motivation behind their actions, and said that the reviews of retroactively classified emails were conducted by career bureaucrats who did not know the names of the subjects being investigated.

“The process is set up in a manner to completely avoid any appearance of political bias,” said a second senior State Department official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity to describe the mechanics of an internal probe.

I’d want to be anonymous, too, having to spout this bullshit to a reporter: but SRSLY? THIS is the Admin’s attempt to deflect attention away from its own flagrant criminality? Hillary’s emails?? Fucking AGAIN??

But I’m sure Sean Hannity and the rest of the RW media pinheads will be quite diligent in keeping this vital and scandalous issue in the forefront of public discussion…
