My commentary is in response to Jessica Sloan’s blog post titled "Clinton's Email Controversy Continues!" My colleague describes the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton concerning her emails being subpoenaed. Taking her readers through the timeline of events, she explains why Clinton is under suspicion right now. Also, she points out the possible repercussions of the timing of this event considering the upcoming presidential elections in which Clinton intends to run.

     Overall, the piece is well written and concise. Perhaps my only criticism is that my colleague didn't really provide readers with a definite conclusion. What should we take away from this and why should we care? On the other hand, she lays out the situation in a clear and capable way. Claiming, “there’s no evidence to support any wrongdoing regarding emails,” without providing any evidence for the statement seems to defeat the purpose a little bit. However, mentioning that President Obama has asked for government to use separate email accounts for personal and work correspondence adds credibility to my colleague’s cause.

     In conclusion, Miss Sloan wrote a reasonable and informative criticism. Personally, I appreciate her nonjudgmental tone. But at the same time, I hoped for a more substantial opinion on the subject. Sifting through a news issue like this is no simple task so I appreciate my colleague’s efforts. Since reading this blog post, I have become increasingly engaged by this story, which I feel should be the goal of anybody commenting on political news.
