In reply to the discussion: The investigation into Clinton's email server is very real. [View all]zipplewrath
(16,646 posts)I mean, I get what everyone is talking about, but your reference ignores two very important points.
1) Her use of a private server was supposedly "approved" for use. I've never seen who did that, and if they had that authority, but none the less, that's a HUGE fig leaf (legally) for her problems.
2) By all representations, she believed she was storing unclassified information on those servers. You don't go to jail for mistakes. You go to jail for either intentionally storing classified, or for carelessly, repeatedly, and intentionally ignoring your responsibilities. No one has suggested this was the case.
I'm no Hillary supporter. And I think she made this decision out of a fairly paranoid attitude of wanting to control all of her emails. This is just another example of her poor decision making. But she's not going to jail and she's not going to be indicted until someone determines that the above points are based upon false information (i.e. it was intentional or she actually didn't have approval to use private servers for public business).
