Another questions: was her private server meant to be more secure? or secret? snowy owl Apr 2016 #74

The GOP is pissed they couldn't tamper with it and plant incriminating evidence against her. lindysalsagal Apr 2016 #145

Unfortunately, they didn't have to plant anything. Evidence is already there. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #154

Evidence of what? Doing one of the most difficult jobs in the world? lindysalsagal Apr 2016 #159

The FBI wouldn't be investigating this unless there was real evidence of a possible crime. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #160

I asked and you had no answer. I'm not defending anything. lindysalsagal Apr 2016 #161

Among potential crimes is mishandling classified information. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #162

Influence peddling is wrong but it has nothing to do with the server. If they really start enforcing lindysalsagal Apr 2016 #163

I'm just stating the facts. There are emails on the server in re Clinton Foundation issues. BillZBubb Apr 2016 #164
