The Hillary Clinton emails story comes to an end

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department has completed its internal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of private email and found violations by 38 people, some of whom may face disciplinary action.

The investigation, launched more than three years ago, determined that those 38 people were “culpable” in 91 cases of sending classified information that ended up in Clinton’s personal email, according to a letter sent to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley this week. The 38 are current and former State Department officials but were not identified.

The investigation covered 33,000 emails that Clinton turned over for review after her use of the private email account became public. The department said it found a total of 588 violations involving information then or now deemed to be classified, but could not assign fault in 497 cases.

For current and former officials, culpability means the violations will be noted in their files and will be considered when they apply for or go to renew security clearances. For current officials, there could also be some kind of disciplinary action. But it wasn’t immediately clear what that would be.

@Revmitchell Not systemic nor deliberate. It’s over. Clinton was done dirty by the press. From the OP link:

“So while hundreds of stories were being written about Clinton’s emails, the trail of potentially scandalous behavior by Trump was treated as barely worthy of attention. You’d see a story or two about his shady casino bankruptcies, or his stiffing small businesses out of money he owed them, or about how his modeling agency exploited young foreign women in conditions one described as “modern-day slavery,” and then the story would disappear, washed under a tide of “Look at these crazy rallies Trump is holding” reports.

At the same time, the media were drawing false equivalencies between Clinton and Trump, and treating her transgressions as far worse than his, despite the fact that the opposite was obviously true.”

Spin not facts. Intentionally deleting 33,000 emails is fact.

Nope. Just trying to get an understandable answer from you. Some of your posts seem cryptic.

What does you moving from talking about Hillary's email probe to Trump when you ran out of points to continue to defend Hillary have to do with my supposed cryptic posts? You are all over the place.

Nope. You just can’t handle a debate. You only want posters to agree with you. I, on the other hand, enjoy a good back-and-forth.

You used the logical fallacy called a red herring. It means you lost the debate.

It depends on which news story you read. WaPo and the NYTimes spun it as "no systemic mishandling of emails" whereas the Washington Examiner found this:

The State Department identified nearly 600 security violations in its now-completed review of email records of dozens of former agency officials and aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The investigation, which covered the 33,000 emails Clinton provided for review, found 91 "valid violations" attributable to 38 individuals, some of whom may face disciplinary action. Another 497 violations could not be tied to any specific person.

The bottom line is that Clinton using a separate server was a really, really, really bad idea and it cost her a victory in the general election in 2016 as it opened the door to all of the news stories in the New York Times and Washington Post, et al, about the emails.

How does changing the subject to Trump show you can handle debate? It appears you are projecting. When did I ever say I don't like debate and I only want posters to agree with me?
