More Emails: Hillary's Team Answers Why Hillary Tried to Hide Her Secret Server Instead of Revealing it Long Before the Election: "Because They Wanted to Get Away With It"

Wow, you'd almost think they were discussing a federal crime here.

"Speaking of transparency, our friends Kendall, Cheryl and Phillipe sure weren’t forthcoming on the facts here," Podesta says in another email to Tanden. He is referring to Hillary’s attorneys David Kendall and Cheryl Mills and also to Philipe Reines but it's not clear if he is talking about them not giving much information to the NY Times or about some private exchange. Perhaps expecting how Tanden might respond Podesta adds, "Don’t be mean."

A few minutes later, Tanden replies, "This is a cheryl special. Know you love her, but this stuff is like her Achilles heal. Or kryptonite. she just can’t say no to this s**t." She continues, "Why didn’t they get this stuff out like 18 months ago? So crazy."

Podesta replies, "Unbelievable."

And then Tanden sends a response answering her own question. "I guess I know the answer," she writes, "they wanted to get away with it."

As Sexton notes, the "they wanted to get away with it" refers to Hillary's Star Chamber of very close fixers and enablers. But of course the statement that Cheryl Mills "can't say no to this s**t" can only mean she can't refuse Hillary's requests to help her break the law -- who else could give Mills orders to break the law except for her alleged law client?
