Hang on! There's hope for Mrs Clinton's emails!

Now we discover that Russians hackers have been reading Mr Obama's email! The White House hastens to explain that nobody actually hacked the president's email account, though how they could read the stuff without hacking it is a bit of a mystery; and anyhow there wasn't any classified material in there, which is reminiscent of Mrs Clinton's assurances that she never discussed classified information, so what's the problem?

But look on the bright side: if the Russians have been reading the president's email, then surely they were reading the Secretary of State's, especially given that Mrs Clinton did not use a supposedly secure State Department account but instead worked off a computer located in the Clintons' Chappaqua home--a computer that has now been scrubbed clean. Perhaps we could ask the Russians for a thumb drive of what they found? I doubt they've destroyed their records, as she has done.
