Rep Gerry Connelly is one of my new heroes. He's sticking it to Kornacki, who is trying his best

to make something out of nothing when it comes to Clinton's emails. Kornacki frames the question as if any classified exposure was deliberate, and Connelly makes clear that if the FBI thought so, they would have prosecuted. Connelly also stresses the tiny number of emails the FBI mentioned out of the tens of thousands that were sent, AND stressed how busy Clinton was during her 4 years as SoS.

An amazing appearance by Rep Gerry Connelly tonight.

Kornacki obviously did not or he wouldn't be talking about 100 or so emails...He would know that only 3 had markings as classified and two of those were not marked correctly because they actually were not classified.

So was Steve Kornacki filling in for Rachel Maddow tonight? I can't imagine her posing questions like that. I wonder if she was annoyed that he used her show to do that - I would've been.

Steve K kept bringing up the 110 emails, but as Peter Daou explains, they were NOT marked classified, and only retroactively deemed by the FBI, not by Clinton, to contain classified info, so can't be used as evidence that she lied. Daou also pokes other holes in the argument.

He loves a conspiracy, even if it's a Democratic one. When will Rachel be back? I can't take another week of him. Connelly did a good job. I didn't hear it all because I was busy shouting at the TV.

The relentless efforts to make something out of nothing only serve to generate news and feed anti Clinton sentiment. They never seem to tire of it. It is fantastic that Hillary now has not just a few defenders but an entire party of people who have had it with the witch hunts. Enough.

WTG, Gerry Connelly!
