For those who do not know, ‘Climategate’ was a fake scandal that was concocted out of (almost literally) the seven words contained in the above email, one of thousands of emails between climate scientists released to the public by an unknown individual.
Since that time, FOI requests for email trails between climate scientists have flooded research centres and universities purely for the purpose of trying to find another seven words in thousands of emails that can be somehow twisted into a means to destroy the integrity of researchers and undermine the climate change struggle.
It is not hard to imagine that somewhere in the emails that Clinton has been required to release that there might have been something damaging that could have been used against her — I am surprised at how little there has been, to be honest, as everyone says stuff that can be twisted.
And that last point — that everyone says stuff that can be twisted — is why, if I were Hillary, I would be reluctant to release any of my speech transcripts. There is almost certainly something in one or more of them that could be used in an attack on her even if that attack would be as completely concocted as the one based on ‘Mike’s Nature trick’ and ‘to hide the decline’ was.
