5. Not a lawyer...the legalities are unclear to me. She made the documents before

the law was in place, but she has kept them after the law was in place. What law, and State dept rules for identifying and preserving federal documents for the archives apply is beyond me.

The r's will attempt to prove that evidence of absence is evidence of withholding evidence. I think that will prove to become irresolvable, a perfectly good solution for the r's who just want to cast aspersions against her...

Setting all that aside, has the first rule of scandals been run to ground? Has someone followed the money? Servers and software seem to need maintenance...which costs money. I would suppose that when the security of federal documents is involved, the people who do that charge more than the Geek Squad at Best Buy.

Are we sure that the financial arrangements, if any, between State and exPresident Clinton's office all meet whatever sniff tests would suggest it was on the up and up?
