They weren’t able to add more because a Republican Congress cut down approved finding to do so.
The emails exist and were on a personal email server that was not approved which was a security breach. The same as it was a security breach when Trump did it on his personal phone.
It’s not okay but it’s not as big of a deal as you’re making it.

The “like your plan you can keep it” depended on private insurance continuing to offer plans that would not be tax advantaged. No additional funding was needed to see that that wasn’t going to be viable.
At the beginning of the scandal, the content of those emails were treated as faked and the first response from the media was to self censor stories about them.
That’s actually part of what made it a bigger story, is that when it later came out that they were real instead of people finding out about it months and months ago they found out in bits and pieces over time. In that instance the censorship actually likely hurt the Clinton’s more than it helped; but the outrage is still felt mostly on the right as they saw it as another in a long line of censorship decisions that targeted the right.

I can honestly tell you that no one thought they were they were skeptical of the source, once they were authentic not one outlet called them fake.
And report after report shows the opposite of what you claim. Right wing News is favored on almost all online platforms

They were never able to be called unauthenticated. They were published with DKIM signatures from the beginning.

you’re confusing skepticism with oppression
