How to use lag in a sentence?
The most important claim Hillary Clinton made on Tuesday was that emails were captured and preserved in real time. Knowing how far government email systems lag behind those everyone else uses, it was extremely doubtful this was actually the case, the inspector general's report confirmed that just.00006 percent of State Department emails were saved, so it's very unlikely the people Hillary Clinton relied upon to save Hillary Clinton records did.
