Let's look at your points:
#1 "nothing has emerged that contradicts what Hillary Clinton is saying"
- Hillary's own website says: Was it allowed? Yes. The laws, regulations, and State Department policy in place during her tenure permitted her to use a non-government email for work.
- The State Department Inspector General's report says otherwise: OIG found no evidence that the Secretary requested or obtained guidance or approval to conduct official business via a personal email account on her private server....
Secretary Clinton had an obligation to discuss using her personal email
account to conduct official business with their offices, who in turn would have attempted to
provide her with approved and secured means that met her business needs. However, according
to these officials, DS and IRM did not—and would not—approve her exclusive reliance on a
personal email account to conduct Department business
- Don't forget, Hillary pledged to cooperate fully with the government investigations....but her and her aides refused to testify for the inspector general:
#2 it says that the documents/e-mails in question were probably sent to her, not her sending them out.
- The State Department Inspector General's report says sending or receiving classifed emails on private emails is prohibitted: If an employee has any emails (regardless of age) on his or her private email account(s) that have not already been forwarded to the employee’s official email account, then such emails need to be forwarded to the employee’s state.gov account as soon as possible. Employees are reminded that private email accounts should not be used to transmit or receive classified information.
- What in the world are you suggesting? Charles McCullough is hardly some republican operative. He's the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community, appointed by Obama in 2011 and unanimously confirmed by the then Democrat led Senate.
- Oh the horror!! Fox News did their job and reported the news....just as NBC, CNN, ABC, etc. etc. did. I presume since you read the articles you noticed that NBC reported they had separate confirmation of their own from two different intelligence officials??? But Fox reported it, so cry about them as the boogey man as if that covers up the facts at hand.
Then you state: Now, I'm not denying sensitive material might have ended up on her server
- That REALLY downplays the damage that could be done by this information. This material was Top Secret and above. The government criteria for Top Secret is: Top Secret is the classification level applied to information whose unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.
As to whether what she did was "illegal" We'll have to see if Obama's Department of No Justice will charge her or not.....don't hold your breath.
