More emails: Latest emails raise questions again about Clinton's judgment

More Hillary Clinton emails have surfaced, reigniting the firestorm over her use of a private server to send and receive government documents.

The FBI has announced it will investigate whether there is classified information in the newly discovered emails.

The news could not come at a worse time for Clinton, who has been riding high in the latest polls just two weeks before Election Day.

It is an issue, that although it had not been resolved to the satisfaction of her critics, had been largely put to bed, or so we thought, by the FBI's conclusion that it did not warrant a criminal investigation and the national media's concentration on the missteps of her opponent, Donald Trump.

The latest email controvrsey reopens the case that Trump has been making all along, that Clinton cannot be trusted to do or tell the truth about her manuevering behind the scenes and that the FBI erred in not opening a criminal probe of her email use back in the summer.

Clinton's email use has been one of the biggest vulnerabilities in her campaign. Now, just when things seemed to be going her way, it has been resurrected.

Will it have any effect at this late date? Who really knows. But even if she defeats Trump and wins the White House, the questions surrounding her emails is not likely to go away anytime soon.
