11. Clinton's actions were not unlawful under either federal records preservation laws or criminal laws

Stephen Vladek, a law professor at American University in Washington, said the findings by the Office of Inspector General are "deeply consistent with what most legal experts have long suspected -- that Secretary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server to conduct official business was inconsistent with internal State Department guidelines."

"Critically, though, the OIG report does not appear to conclude that any of Secretary Clinton’s actions were unlawful under either federal records preservation laws or criminal statutes," said Vladek, who specializes in constitutional and national-security law.
