Everyday tradecraft? I don’t think so.

This story broke in Gawker, which is to be commended for pursuing the truth into the courts. The State Department initially denied Gawker’s Freedom of Information Act request for Clinton aide’s emails, claiming they didn’t exist. After Gawker sued, State said oops, approximately 17,000 such emails did exist. This number is now up to 90,000.
