7. Complete spin.

"The National Archives and Records Administration concluded that our efforts with respect to Secretary Clinton and her senior staff mitigated past problems, as has a federal district court in a suit brought under the Federal Records Act. As you note in your report, you concur with this conclusion."

This says it was the efforts of the state department and the FOIA suit in federal court was the impetus of the mitigation. That doesn't excuse Hillary at all.

"Although the Department is aware of the failure to print and file, the FAM contains no explicit penalties for lack of compliance, and the Department has never proposed discipline against an employee for failure to comply. "

All this says is there isn't any "explicit penalties" it of no way absolves Hillary.


"State Department spokesman Mark Toner briefed reporters Wednesday: "While not necessarily encouraged, there was no prohibition on using personal email. The only requirement is that -- and the regulations do state this, that these records need to be preserved.""

This is so laughable that I will just leave this here.



I like crooks and liars but that article was weak sauce!
