"The plot thins on the Clinton email 'scandal'"

I love this headline from The Daily Beast political blog: 

"The  Plot  Thins  on  the  Clinton Email  'Scandal'"

We're so used to plots thickening that this change grabs your attention and tickles the imagination.   Then the opening paragraph: 

"The rapidly deflating Clinton email ‘scandal’ looks like it has more to do with a sclerotic government bureaucracy than any personal wrongdoing on the part of Hillary."

Apparently the whole thing is devolving into the revelation that the government did not start automatically archiving state.gov emails until last month.   So even those that Hillary assumed would be archived on the receivers' end, because they were sent to government officials, are likely lost now.    And even if she had used a state.gov account herself, they would not have been automatically saved.   So, if fact, her work-related emails are now available because she used her own personal account.

I'm sure the Republicans will say this is all part of Hillary's scheme to keep information from the American people and that there must be something sinister that she's trying to hide.  You know?   Another reason for them to shout, "Benghazi."  

Actually, it's pretty well known that our government is at least a decade behind in adapting to the digital world.   So let's just call it bureaucratic ineptitude and move on.
