Republicans have been largely silent following the release of a State Department report last week that cleared former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of any deliberate mishandling of classified information when she used her personal email to conduct official government business.
The report, sent to Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley on Oct. 16, found 38 employees "culpable" of violating department security protocol, but those violations did not apply to any transmitted material that had been marked as "classified."
"Additionally, APD adjudicated 497 valid violations where no individual was found to bear culpability, resulting in a ''valid, but not culpable' determination," the report stated. It added that "by and large, the individuals interviewed were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them."
"There was no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information," it concluded.
The report was the result of a years-long probe into Clinton's email practices, which Donald Trump roundly criticized during the 2016 election.

Why would Republicans care about their past lies? They're too busy making new ones.

(21,787 posts)This is one of those questions every republican should be asked in public.
If the GOP wants to equate inquiries about Trump as witch hunts and lynchings, asking about the Hillary Clinton investigations is not just fair game, it is essential.
