Apparently you can ignore Congress, but you can't ignore a criminal investigation by the FBI. Funny how this has taken so many months for the FBI to open a criminal investigation. If it were anyone else, the FBI would have long ago crashed through the doors and seized it. You have to love the spin on the news outlet by-lines that Clinton agreed to this and that she is authorizing her aids to cooperate. Spin, spin, spin.

What law did she break?

oh I don't know.. maybe something about having unsecured classified information and lying about it.

And she is not under arrest... this is a criminal probe meaning someone at the FBI thinks she screwed up... which everyone in the U.S. believes she did (well, with the exception of the 53.9% who support her in the primary).

Charges were brought against David Petraeus because he deliberately shared documents with Paula Broadwell. I'm not aware of any allegation that Clinton improperly shared information.

"It is still an investigation."

Okay, what law is she alleged to have broken?

It is still an investigation. But to your point. Look up General Petraeus. Beyond the sex scandal, he didn't protect classified documents.

Gotta love the false equivalency. Petraeus passed classified material to his squeeze.

How desperate are you, anyway?

Didn't Petraeus plead guilty to removing and retaining classified information? Is Hillary's situation somehow significantly different?

Irony. It's thick.
Not as thick as him. lol

I remain unconvinced that this goes anywhere. I can't see Obama risking war in the Democrat Party over this, and I can't see the 3/4 of Republicans in Congress who are currently running for President actually pushing for Clinton's sanction over something they each probably hope to have the chance to do. Nonetheless, just to cover my ass I'll take this opportunity to admit that Boomerang has been more correct on this than have I. So if it turns out that he is 100% correct, remember that while I wasn't riding on that wagon I did wave as it went by. :D

When did she lie?
What difference, at this point, does it make? The FBI has launched a criminal investigation. If you want to argue what the meaning of the word "is" is, here's the phone number of the FBI. (901) 747-4300 Maybe somebody there will take the time to talk to you about your concerns.

She lied on March 10, 2015.

QUESTION: Were you ever — were you ever specifically briefed on the security implications of using — using your own email server and using your personal address to email with the president?

CLINTON: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.

So I’m certainly well-aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.

404 lie not found.
Are you imagining that it was Trump or Bush who snuck that classified email onto Hillary's computer without her knowledge? Or are rascally Republicans somehow classifying her messages after the fact because they hate rainbows and babies?

They'll simply pretend TOP SECRET documents aren't classified.

I don't understand the sarcasm or indignation here. I'm asking pretty basic questions that, in the numerous stories I've seen online, remain unclear to me.

She lied on March 10, 2015.

So she knew that she had sent classified information through her private server, lied about it, then provided the incriminating emails for the IGs to review? Is that the sequence of events you're proposing?

Think... Benghazi! You'll understand completely.
