Hillary Clinton email on Blagojevich verdict: "Puny outcome"

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
When then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got an email in 2010 about former Gov. Rod Blagojevich being found guilty of lying to the FBI – with a jury hung on 23 other counts – her reaction was this: “Pretty puny outcome for all the hype.”

Clinton got the news about the disgraced Illinois governor in what turned out to be the first of two trials in an e-mail from her childhood pal, Betsy Ebeling on Aug. 17, 2010, the day a jury in Chicago returned the verdict.
