Related: About this forumState Department confirms Hillary Clinton email violated no laws or policies: (HILLARY GROUP)
The State Department publicly confirmed today that Hillary Clintons use of personal email while serving as Secretary of State violated no laws or policies that were in place at the time, bringing an end to the substantive side of the email scandal if certainly not the political side. Clintons opponents in the 2016 election and their followers have been hoping the issue would force her out of the election, but now theyll be reduced to simply trying to create a scandal where none exists, after the departments official words today.
State Department official spokesperson John Kirby appeared live on CNN today and flat out stated that she was not violating policy. Like many other high ranking officials who came before and during her tenure, Hillary Clinton opted to bypass the wonky email servers provided by the department due to the fact that they couldnt, for instance, properly work with mobile email apps on smartphones. Previous Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have acknowledged having done the same. The news comes as a disappointment to those in politics who viewed the controversy as their best shot at catching up to Clinton, who has a massive lead in national polls both within her own party and across party lines.
Clinton turned over her email server to the FBI earlier this month in the name of full disclosure. But with the State Department having now confirmed that her use of that server violated no laws or policies, the FBI investigation is moot and will confirm the same. Opponents will continue to attempt to turn Hillary Clintons email into a scandal by making ongoing remarks about the supposed impropriety or illegality of what shes done, but those statements can now officially be regarded as lies going forward. The remaining question is how many, if any, undecided voters will believe those lies.

(24,338 posts)These will probably be 3 of the *ahem* *uhh* reasons why she was cleared
Can't let the meme die.
Just have to find any excuse
So, she blackmailed the investigators, the Muslim Brotherhood has so infiltrated the US government that the truth has been deleted, her being their former boss they're too connected to her for it to be impartial
Sunspots, Alien Sunspots...
It's kind of old and tiresome
But...
Benghazi, Vince Foster, Whitewater,

(9,036 posts)we've seen this so often from the GOP: they don't care about the truth, they only want to push stories that confuse and obfuscate so they can suggest "where there's smoke...." etc.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)do not materialize, the cover up is with the GOP covering their lies.

(2,707 posts)it might carry more currency on the main primaries forum. I'll also have it posted to reddit by a friend if you can get another news source.

(55,147 posts)You seem to take issue in this Group with every post you make here and quite frankly I am getting tired of it.

Will check for text.
ericson00
(2,707 posts)so yea an article from a reputable source with the text would work. I'd post the New Day transcript but since Reddit requires the title be the same (as does DU), it wouldn't do any good, it would get auto-deleted, if not reported very quickly

(38,402 posts)The story I posted is dated August 24, and I don't see anything else re. this news dated today except the video. Hopefully, other online "print" sources will follow.
ericson00
(2,707 posts)but that doesn't stop people from posting the video as a comment in rags like WaPo articles....

(67,112 posts)theories saying she is being protected by the State Department and she can pull strings to destroy any saying otherwise. The STUPIDS are sadly unreachable.

(65,488 posts)all the other Republican investigations have cleared her and Obama of wrongdoing.
And Birthers still hold fast to their nonsense despite having seen both forms of Obama's birth certificate.
