Her IT people deleted 30,000 emails before turning over the server. I've got news for her, the Justic Dept and FBI can easily examine other emails coming from govt employees to her and from her on the govt servers. If they don't show up on her server, it'll be pretty obvious she had them deleted. That's a coverup. http://www.theblaze.com/contribution...-email-crimes/ I'm going to guess when this comes out, she ends up paying a hefty fine, probably avoid jail time. But the crux is, she really doesn't abide by the rules, and she's willing to lie about it with no shame.

It should be noted the use of a private server does not necessarily violate any existing Federal law. The big problem with the explosion of technology is the laws and regulations pertaining to such technology are woefully hit and miss. Government being what it is, and the Congress being who they are, action to address the very fast-moving leaps in technology is painfully slow, particularly when compared to the private sector. Should the use of a private server be prohibited? Most probably, yes, but it is not at this time... As a side to the server question, given current Sec. of State John Kerry' s recent statement of his belief foreign interests (China, Russia, etc.) are probably able to read current government email systems, the use of an off-network anonymous server may not be such a bad idea; of course, then you have the question of data then possibly leaking through mismanagement of those servers... This whole situation is little more than a continuation of the Congressional GOP's effort to hang something, anything on Hillary Clinton, particularly over the Benghazi incident. After at least five separate probe that I can recall, including a very recent bi-partisan Congressional probe, the fabled "smoking gun" has yet to be found. When the existence of Clinton's private server came to light, the GOP seized on it and demanded the emails and server be turned over to the GOP-chaired Congressional committees. Instead, the data, and now the server, have been turned over to proper investigative entities in the Justice Department and the FBI. If the data and server had gone to the hands of Congress, the concerns about national security would be gravely endangered. Congress, particularly partisan Congress, is a veritable fountain of leaks. If Congress and the GOP are so concerned about National Security, let the professional do their jobs, give their findings, and let the chips fall where they may, good or bad. Letting the pros do the job is infinitely better than letting some ham handed Congressional aide fumble around... The GOP should be very careful. They've already been burned once trying to chase down a Clinton. They need to remember how the whole Ken Starr-led investigation made them look foolish and petty and resulted in the elevation of Bill Clinton's popularity, which continues today. The GOP Congressional insistence on having the data server turned over to them smells of a fishing expedition, much like Starr starting out to investigate Whitewater. Starr found nothing actionable regarding Whitewater, and glommed onto the whole Lewinski mess as a face-saving effort. The end result was an embarrassment to the GOP leadership and a loss of confidence among the voting populace. Remember the short-lived GOP revolution during the Clinton years? 'm sure Newt Gingrich remembers. Thing s can go sideways real fast. Just last week it was reported that one of the emails being cited by GOP members as a breach of security by Hillary Clinton had actually been previously declassified some time ago by the State Dept.; in fact the GOP members had released a redacted copy of the email in question, yet the previously declassified email had been released in full, without redactions. Sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for: you might not like the results... All the Above is why I still say I'll believe this matter will take down Clinton (or Obama) when it happens... <O>

the problem with the Clinton email issue is that it has become so politicized at this point that it is hard to know what the truth is.
if I look at THIS report, it is hard to see what the fuss is about: Quote:

to me, it's more of a case that the GOP knows they can't win on the issues, so are resorting to mud slinging.

I think it should be noted Clinton or her representatives have opposed only the turning over of the emails and/or the servers to Congressional committees or entities, not to legitimate law Federal enforcement agencies (e.g., the FBI). The professionals at the agencies, who are highly trained in computer forensics and, more importantly, the preservation of whatever level of security need to protect possibly sensitive data. To allow a "civilian" entity such as the Congress and its staffers to conduct some ramshackle "investigation" in an environment ripe with leaks and security breaches is highly questionable and a serious hazard to national security. After seeing how sensitive information has been leaked in the past, one would think the Congressional leadership would embrace having the work done by those professionals whose job it is to protect national security; that is, of course, making the assumption there is actually "Congressional leadership"...
In regards to the politicizing of the probes, the specter of a GOP "fishing expedition" is very highly possible. Under the guise of investigating the Benghazi incident, they could pull a Ken Starr and attempt to see f they might find something on Hillary or Obama, no matter how spurious. Imagine the glee of the GOP if they were to stumble upon a metaphorical pair of stained tighty-whities... <O>

Just came across this regarding the next GOP debate:

Is there any candidate that is not openly anti-Russian?

You mean Underwood? Though it would sort of amusing to see Putin and Obama exchanged. Some people just enjoy seeing the world consumed by flames though.

I really must get around to watching that. So many good series to get through. EDIT: Putin and Obama exchanged would be amusing, I think Putin would get very frustrated with the US Congress and Senate though and ask for his old job back. |

Well or he would actually pull of what all those tinfoilhat people are afraid of (and probably wish for).

Yeah as long as the flames are kissing someone elses butt and not their own it's great entertainment for some people.
