If President Walker can be impeached because he takes prescription medication and has nebulous ties to a foreign campaign-finance scandal, then dammit, Hillary can be taken down over her emails.

For all we know you are injecting heroin directly into the eyes of trafficked Ethiopian children as we speak, does this unsubstantiated claim give anyone the right to demand you release your personal communications so that we can look for proof of the things we are making up on the fly?

If I was under investigation for some sort of behaviour (that a decent chunk of the citizens believe is a compromise of national security)to which I have complied with in all previous steps, sure. The investigator can look at my WIP pictures of a potting bench and shoe rack.

If they have a vendetta against my political career that makes them release some emails about what I had for lunch they look like petty assholes, if they release emails calling Tony Blair a douchebag then whatever if im POTUS he's not gonna stop sucking american cock, and by one year from now it will just be another Benghazi.

She literally released classified mail that was on her server over. There is not any doubt that she had it, the investigation is, and can only be limited to, her handling of classified material, so what other "shady" mail do you think could possibly have been deleted that falls into that scope when she has already turned over mail that WAS classified, which was the entire point of the investigation?

What behavior do you think she is under investigation for and what relation do you think that has to this completely unrelated fishing expedition you want performed for unrelated "shady" emails?

And if he might have committed additional crimes or illicit/shady behavior on the server, its okay if he deletes some "personal emails" before handing it over?

Basically you're pulling some guilty until proven innocent bullshit and it's bogus. Correct operating procedure is to wipe your servers after they've been used for sensitive stuff and you've backed up what needs to be turned over.

I wouldn't be surprised if the deleted emails had little to do with compromised classified emails. At the same time the fact that they were deleted prior to the turnover makes me, a citizen (not a lawyer or judge), concerned about that shady behaviour.

Depending how they were "deleted" they can potentially be easily recovered by investigators. I'd assume it was just private poo poo since it's you know, a private email server.

Innocent until Proven Guilty is an integral aspect of our law system, but is not a requirement before being wary of actions or citizens; everyone in this thread, at one point or another, has held reasonable doubt about the intentions of another citizens' actions. This wariness is not illegal nor morally reprehensible.

It is interesting that we have all this leaked information about the contents of the classified Clinton emails, like the fact that some of them were discussing the use of drones. I'm sure that Trey Gowdy's House Committee on Benghazi will get to the bottom of where those leaks are coming from.

I don't watch Fox News, so I'm not up-to-date on all the minutiae of this, but last I heard none of the emails were marked as classified when they were sent to her server.

Hillary did a thing that previous Secretaries of State had done, but to a greater degree. When the inevitable outrage machine started up, she stonewalled because that's what Clintons do when face to face with the outrage machine. While not a particularly good idea, totally shady, and wrong, Clintons actions will turn out to be technically legal or at worst nonpunishable. We've got a few more weeks or so of EMAILGHAZI before a new round of scandal starts up. The new scandal will of course range in severity from Chipotle tipping to Vince Foster.

lol if you think that mishandling classified information, is a -ghazi situation. It's actually a very super serious offense and not at all a "lol everybody does that" thing.

This is a surprisingly hostile response to "person finds the fact that Clinton deleted email before handing the server iver suspicious". Arguing over legality of an action may appeal to lawyers, but not to people wary of your chosen candidate.

Your ideas on how things should be operated are taken under advisement, but I must remind you that your ideas don't comport with the law or generally accepted practices, or the rules in force during Clinton's tenure. Maybe you should have emailed her a reminder on your preferred practices when she was SecState?

What exactly is hostile about saying that I cant argue with your opinion after you admit that you have no backing whatsoever to feel the way you do? Ok, thats how you feel, neat, schizophrenics think butterflies whisper secrets, neither have any basis in fact. If you consider the reality of that hostile maybe you should do a bit of self evaluation.
