"The New York Times made small but significant changes to an exclusive report about a potential criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's State Department email account late Thursday night, but provided no notification of or explanation for the changes.
The paper initially reported that two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation 'into whether Hillary Rodham Clinton mishandled sensitive government information on a private email account she used as secretary of state.'
That clause, which cast Clinton as the target of the potential criminal probe, was later changed: the inspectors general now were asking for an inquiry 'into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state.'
The Times also changed the headline of the story, from 'Criminal Inquiry Sought in Hillary Clintons Use of Email' to 'Criminal Inquiry Is Sought in Clinton Email Account,' reflecting a similar recasting of Clinton's possible role. The article's URL was also changed to reflect the new headline."

(9,494 posts)I'm sure the republicans are just hoping that they can throw enough mud to lose Hillary the primary so they can cruise into the presidency against the unelectable Bernie Sanders.
It won't work as long as most Sanders supporters are smart enough to not pile on. Of course, the Bernie supporters here on DU will buy into it 100% and parrot any and all attacks on Clinton no matter how spurious but the far left fringe on the internet are still outliers.

(90,927 posts)One DU poster in that thread even gloated that he wished he could get a look into the GOP's box of dirt on Hillary. In other words -- some here are actually very open about using RW sources, believing RW sources, and being proud of themselves for trying to destroy a fellow Democrat via smears.
Why, Skinner, why?
