State Department revives investigation of Clinton’s private emails

I would hope so. The rest of us would have been thrown in jail if we had handled classified documents the way Clinton did. 

Hillary Clinton’s private email server may once again be a hot-button issue three years after the FBI said it wouldn’t press charges. Washington Postsources claimed State Department investigators have contacted “as many as” 130 officials to let them know that emails sent to Clinton’s private inbox have been retroactively classified, making them possible security violations when they weren’t at the time they were sent. The Department had started reaching out roughly a year and a half ago, according to the report, but fell quiet before resuming in August.

Anonymous State Department officials talking to the Post denied that this was prompted by President Trump, who frequently attacked Clinton’s use of private email during his 2016 election campaign and has continued to talk about it in the three years since. The email review has been going on since the Obama administration, they said, and has avoided “any appearance of political bias” through steps such as anonymizing the names of the subjects involved.
