This email thing, you know.
Is the FBI looking into them?
Hope they don't get indicted.
Semm like good people. I guess.


The whole purpose of having the FBI review the emails
is to determine if any information contained in them, if compromised,
could be detrimental to the security of the USA or beneficial to our
adversaries. Recommendation for prosecution of someone who was
responsible for those documents is secondary and is only appropriate
when that person has demonstrated negligence or intent
in the lack of safe keeping of those documents.

A few weeks ago Ashton Carter, the current Secretary of Defense,
acknowledged that he also had a few government emails sent or received
via his personal email address shortly after he was appointed in 2015.
As soon as he realized it, he corrected the problem, went public and
announced his error and took full responsibility for it. Nobody is
"after" him.

Hillary's problem is her initial refusal to cooperate, denial of
requests to hand over her server, claims that no "classified" info
had been stored on the server, then changing that story to "no emails
were marked classified at the time" were on her server. That's where
it crosses the line. As SOS, she is responsible for the security of
classified info. That's the law. Furthermore, contrary to the movies,
no documents are marked "classified". They are marked "Confidential,
Secret, Top Secret" often with other restrictions like "NOFORN" (meaning
no foreigners).

If she had simply admitted her mistake and fully cooperated with the FBI
and State Department to further and protect the best interests of the
USA rather than take the arrogant attitude and direction she took, none
of this email stuff would be making news.

Hilly is treating emailgate just as billy did with blue dressgate.
They're two peas in a pod.
