Title: ITS BACK ON AGAIN

State Department reopens Clinton emails probe

he State Department is reopening an internal investigation of possible mishandling of classified information by Hillary Clinton and top aides.
   
Spokesman John Kirby says the emails probe is restarting now that the Justice Department isn't pursuing a criminal prosecution. The State Department suspended its review in April to avoid interfering with the FBI's inquiry.
   
Kirby set no deadline for the investigation's completion.
   
Clinton was secretary of state until early 2013. Most of her top advisers left shortly thereafter.
   
But Kirby said this week former officials can still face "administrative sanctions." The most serious is loss of security clearances, which could complicate Clinton's naming of a national security team if she becomes president.
   
Beyond the Democratic front-runner, the probe is most likely examining confidants Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan and Huma Abedin.

Sounds like the dreaded Sternly Worded Letters might be forthcoming from the idiots at State.

Don't get your hopes up.  State dept is kinda powerless.  Its probably mostly focused on her co-workers.

I've read the FBI interview was NOT recorded, nor was Clinton UNDER OATH.

That kind of adds some wiggle room for her lawyers if her statements are used against her.

The saving grace is, Congress has the FBI's investigation and conclusions to draw upon -- official opinions of the investigators.  That goes a long way in establishing the facts of a case, especially when Clinton corroborated the facts in many of her public speeches and interviews.

I would laugh (bitterly) if this ended up getting many OTHER people fired or disciplined, EXCEPT her.

If that happens I bet they are going to get pissed and go public.

She would have to but it is still a gamble. It only takes 1 person to say "screw it, I am not taking the rap for her"

No investigation into the Clinton Foundation and federal racketeering charges?   No wonder the country is sliding into WROL.   This is what you get electing a community organizer as POTUS.

Sure, on the criminal side, but it doesn't fix the public humiliation.

Most of the public could care less.... The ones who do are in the minority. Hopefully I'm wrong.....

Well hopefully anyone going public against clinton finds an insurance policy to insure their safety.
