We know she broke the law, the OIG said it. The only question left is whether her and/or her inner morningfog May 2016 #33

The OIG says she broke State Department regulations, not COLGATE4 May 2016 #41

We'll have to see if anyone pursues the destruction of records meme. COLGATE4 May 2016 #46

By anyone, of course you mean "FBI" and by meme, of course you mean "evidence." morningfog May 2016 #50

When we see some facts we can talk about this more COLGATE4 May 2016 #75

They are requirements without any mechanism for enforcing them. I.e. closer to COLGATE4 May 2016 #77
