(12,957 posts)The fact that it was her private server was part of what the Republican's were screaming about for it seemed like 20 years. Then they got all outraged when Comey reported that there wasn't any classified email on it. This seems like thin sauce. Not a government facility, no classified information.
Using emails hacked by Russia is not espionage. That shit was in the public domain. Plus it wasn't classified.
The hacking itself was a crime, just not espionage. If there is proof that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to hack the DNC or the Clinton server - by the way I thought they tried but failed to hack her server and that instead it was the Congressional investigation that dumped her emails in the public domain. The wikileaks dump was from Podesta's email. At any rate the hacking could result in criminal charges, but likely not espionage.
