12. Angry armchair lawyer extremists are going to be so disappointed
Sun Apr 10, 2016, 05:00 PM
Apr 2016

When nothing comes of this.

No matter how much unhinged hate-filled spittle you direct at Secretary Clinton, no matter how much you try to twist the law into saying something it doesn't say, being sent an email is not a crime.

And neither does classification after the fact apply to actions taken before the information was classified.
