Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server

cold fjord writes: The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Inspectors General from the State Department and intelligence agencies have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server while she was U.S. Secretary of State. At issue is the possible mishandling of sensitive government information. Dozens of the emails provided by Hillary Clinton have been retroactively classified as part of the review of her emails as they are screened for public release. So far 3,000 of 55,000 emails have been released. The inspectors general found hundreds of potentially classified emails. "The Justice Department has not decided if it will open an investigation, senior officials said. ... The inspectors general also criticized the State Department for its handling of sensitive information, particularly its reliance on retired senior Foreign Service officers to decide if information should be classified, and for not consulting with the intelligence agencies about its determinations."

    Obviously if you investigate far enough into this, you will eventually find the email between Hillary, Obama, and ISIS that orders the attack on Benghazi. It's in there, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    Snowden definitely deserves jail time. But much of the information he leaked should never have been held secretively from citizens. In other cases it should have never been collected in the first place. He pushed the data on purpose.

    Hillary, on the other hand, was simply irresponsible. To my knowledge none of the potential leaks have helped citizens uncover corruption.

    Snowden = vigilante
    Clinton = negligent

    It's not too hard to see the difference and why Snowden appeals to the same folks who dislike Hillary.

    What about Al Haig? I thought he was in charge

    He thought he was in charge, too. And he said so.

    But he wasn't.

    While many would no doubt like to purge her, I suspect they really would prefer she get nailed for perjury....
