US appeals court revives Clinton email suit

In a new legal development on the controversy over former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons emails, an appeals court on Tuesday reversed a lower court ruling and said two U.S. government agencies should have done more to recover the emails.
The ruling from Judge Stephen Williams, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, revives one of a number of legal challenges involving Clintons handling of government emails when she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, used a private email server housed at her New York home to handle State Department emails. She handed over 55,000 emails to U.S. officials probing that system, but did not release about 30,000 she said were personal and not work related.
The email case shadowed Clintons loss to Republican Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 presidential election. Trump, who had repeatedly said during the bruising campaign that if elected he would prosecute Clinton, said after the election he had no interest in pursuing investigations into Clintons email use.

(24,685 posts)and I am being very sarcastic.
It's like really, why isn't Comey being asked to present what he did, (meddling in an election, or those hypocrites on the republican committees) why not ask why 48 senators sent a letter to Iran, or my favorite, fascist republicans having and committing treason in a restaurant in 2008, to undermine a duly elected president, where the hell were they then................
Where are they on a fraud serial predator getting ready to scam the entire Treasury for his and some other peoples benefits at our expense and the vote rigging in at least five states.......................this is just BS

(24,685 posts)let's go after them also

(22,665 posts)And the 22 million E-mail that GWB's administration criminally deleted during his tenure and the democrats took the high road and didn't prosecute that crime family on.
It takes a weasel like Mitch McConnell to do that, over n-o-t-h-i-n-g.
that jerk should be thrown out, he committed some treasonous/traitor acts too.
supporting mr ___________grabber for pResident that is disgusting.

(24,685 posts)his first term and the other fan favorite from the fascists party, signing his name to a letter during discussion on a nuclear deal....
Every time he warbles like a the fascist jerk he is, I am just waiting for this cretin to commit people to a war by a serial predator, that really should be in jail
turbinetree
(24,685 posts)not this one, he is a fascist and that party needs to be called that from this day forward.
My favorite is when this fascist party "OUTED" a CIA operative while she was still active/undercover.
And the media has said what---------------------nothing to remind people---------------amazing

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

(4,437 posts)emails first...from a private server, in the White House, when they were being investigated for 9/11 and Iraq and firing someone who wouldn't play for pay. What a bunch of liars and losers.

(51,523 posts)This lawsuit does not challenge Clinton's use of a private email server, and cannot since it was not illegal. The headline is very misleading.

(2,857 posts)Pardons her. Yes, I know she did nothing to be pardoned for. I just don't want the cloud hanging over her wondering if Trump will get mad over some stupid slight and decide to punish her by stirring up another investigation. Obama can do a blind pardon and save us from having to worry.
