The internet has mixed feelings about Hillary Clinton's personal email account

Just last week, it was revealed the Clinton Foundation accepted a $500,000 foreign donation, in violation of an agreement Mrs. Clinton reportedly made with Obama aides.
It didn't take long for one of Clinton's potential 2016 opponents to weigh in on this latest transgression. This tweet was sent from Jeb Bush's account Monday night:
Transparency matters. Unclassified @HillaryClinton emails should be released. You can see mine, here. http://t.co/wZbtwd8O2j
- Jeb Bush (@JebBush) March 3, 2015
That internet domain, jebbushemails.com, was registered in December 2014. Some time after that, Bush unloaded an enormous collection of emails he sent and received during his eight years as the governor of Florida.
While the gesture was seen as an act of political goodwill, it quickly backfired when it was later discovered many of those emails contained the private information - like addresses and social security numbers - of some Florida state residents.

The Times article provided an unexpected answer to this reporter's unanswered questions:
I filed a FOIA lawsuit against State Dept in January for Hillary Clinton docs. I guess I won't be getting any emails http://t.co/xa4LYJivKJ

As word of Hillary Clinton's private email agenda spread on social media, political journalists took the opportunity to have some fun with it:
Wow. I so want to try e-mailing hillary.clinton@gmail.com. Though let's be honest, it's prob hotmail. #nprreads http://t.co/jNvmfzRWH7

So is anyone taking bets on whether Hillary Clinton used an AOL address?

Rumor: Hillary Clinton's Secretary of State email address was hillarypresident2016awwwyeah@aol.com

Of course, there will be no shortage of people who absolutely do not consider this a laughing matter. The Times report has certainly raised more questions about whether Hillary Clinton can withstand the continued political scrutiny that will come should she formally announce her 2016 presidential candidacy.
