Hillary Clinton’s e-mail problems are getting worse. The controversial e-mail server recently turned over to the FBI had been wiped clean. And according to Fox News, there is speculation by officials in the State Department that some of Clinton’s inner circle may have stripped e-mails of their classified designation.
If that’s true, it’s highly illegal. If someone ordered it done, they also could face serious jail time.
Try as she might to focus on the policies she wants to enact if elected president, Clinton just can’t dig out of her inbox.
She agreed to turn over her private server to the Justice Department this week on the same day Congress got word that at least two emails that traversed the device while she was secretary of state contained information that warranted one of the government’s highest levels of classification.
Clinton’s attorney said the server had been wiped clean and no emails remained on the device.
The developments suggest the investigation into the security of Clinton’s email setup could run deep into 2016, as she is trying to win the Democratic nomination for president and, potentially, the general election.
The issue has become a major part of the GOP case against Clinton.
“I think it’s about time that she dealt with the consequences of this,” said GOP candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. “This is something that isn’t just a matter of her not being able to tell the truth; this is something that has put national security at risk and highly questions her ability to be the commander in chief of the United States.”
Each day will give Republicans another opportunity to remind voters of the issue, as Rep. Darrell Issa did Wednesday, saying Clinton should be investigated criminally.
“If any other American had shown the same disregard for securing classified information that Hillary Clinton showed, the United States government would move quickly and decisively to hold them responsible,” he said in a statement.

Do the crime…serve the time….been anyone else, they’d already been locked up in prison..so why does Hillary think she’s above the law….she shouldn’t even be allowed to run for president while the email scandal is going on….what they’re hoping is in the event she is elected as commander in chief….she knows it will take a few years for anything to be done and by that time what she does as president will really mess the United States more than it is now…
Anyone who works for the government (which by the way she didn’t show the United States a damn thing by being secretary of state) and doesn’t know what wiping a server means and insteads says “you mean, wipe it with a cloth” doesn’t even need to function in a government capacity…That statement had to be one of the top stupidist things to come out her mouth…
For someone claiming to be broke after they left the white house..the Clintons sure didn’t seem like they were broke…then all of a sudden they’re wealthy..most of us go through our whole lifes’ without being wealthy and for them to suddenly get wealthy…sounds suspicious…did the clinton foundation line their pockets….
I could go on and on but not enough time for me to mention.
I make these statements under the first Admendent…..
