He offered his own personal quip/opinion on Clinton's actions, not an official government response. But, hey, any judge saying she did something wrong in any context is likely to make the news.

The admin is partially behind this. Puzzledtraveller Aug 2015 #4

I doubt the admin had anything to do with this cali Aug 2015 #5

I don't think that's it. My question is why the WH apparently knew all this was going on TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #7

True Puzzledtraveller Aug 2015 #11

No other cabinet official was allowed to bring in an entourage of unqualified groupies TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #20

I don't know that they knew that or even paid attention to it. askew Aug 2015 #25

If it was all innocuous "nice to see you yesterday, let's have TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #34

I'd guess you'd be in the minority. askew Aug 2015 #41

I've seen zero indication that the WH knew she was keeping a secret server in her askew Aug 2015 #24

Even Jon Stewart skewered her for truedelphi Aug 2015 #56

It wasn't illegal. MADem Aug 2015 #35

No, it wasn't illegal to use a private account, or have one's own server. TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #40

Why would her aides have had their correspondence destroyed? KoKo Aug 2015 #44

Read that their government issued Blackberries were turned in and destroyed. I don't know TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #45

It is SOP when dealing with classified information. 4lbs Aug 2015 #55

I read that, also. Thought it odd but figured the info was already filed KoKo Aug 2015 #75

If she's communicating w/state employees at their desks, she's already archiving. MADem Aug 2015 #53

If it were on her server it could be viewed as archived by turning it over. Relying on archiving peacebird Aug 2015 #85

The "ultimate" archive is to send it TO the server in the institution. And that's what she did. MADem Aug 2015 #89

It's gonna be Bernie and we'll be just fine. He's a much candidate than Hillary anyway. InAbLuEsTaTe Aug 2015 #86

She probably knew that FOIA's couldn't be sought thru private accounts, so she made it ALL private. TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #6

Because the DoJ lawyer is not working for her jberryhill Aug 2015 #9

No, just wondering why the DoJ lawyer was arguing in defense of her email set-up. TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #12

At the bottom of it all jberryhill Aug 2015 #13

Oh, I think she's going down, and it will be well-deserved. Something totally hinky about her TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #16

She didn't have a "special-exception status carved out for her at the State Dept." jberryhill Aug 2015 #21

It's in a news story on CNN--she got some sort of special government employee status TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #22

No, she didn't. The White House--and JUST the White House--had their own rules. MADem Aug 2015 #36

Yeah, there is definitely an issue there with Huma's employment as special employee askew Aug 2015 #43

CNN is not the best place to learn law jberryhill Aug 2015 #62

jury results for your post grasswire Aug 2015 #77

So the FBI investigation is a ruse, meant to distract us with shiny things while they go after Huma? cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #79

We don't know that State allowed it. Clinton campaign refuses to answer questions about askew Aug 2015 #26

I think State did allow it. They would know that she didn't even have a .gov address TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #30

Some peons may have known. But, they weren't in any position to do anything about it. askew Aug 2015 #39

It's because the vague term "government policy" is meaningless. MADem Aug 2015 #27

Except it is false to say that FOIA's can't be sought through private accounts, so her using a pnwmom Aug 2015 #67

Putting her in power will be subjecting us to years of investigations. AppalachianLeftist Aug 2015 #10

Well, her only crime is violating US law... nt Romulox Aug 2015 #23

Since when is "may have violated government policy" magically transformed into "violating US law?" MADem Aug 2015 #31

The handling of Top Secret material is regulated by Statutory Law, not mere "policy". nt Romulox Aug 2015 #32

Then why is the judge using the word "policy?" Surely a judge knows the difference. Pffft. nt MADem Aug 2015 #38

I don't think this article is about the classified angle, that's being handled by the FBI and DOJ. TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #42

The poster would do well to not try to convolute issues--it makes it seem as though he is working MADem Aug 2015 #48

I believe they're seeking email between Clinton and her top aides, who all had accounts on TwilightGardener Aug 2015 #52

Didn't she travel with them? Seems a bit like overkill to email someone rather than MADem Aug 2015 #54
