WASHINGTON (AP) — Two top Republican senators asked the Justice Department Monday whether it is conducting a criminal investigation related to Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of a private server for email and whether the computer specialist who helped set it up is the subject.

Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin also asked Attorney General Loretta Lynch whether the department would deem a preliminary offer of immunity to the computer worker as a waiver of his constitutional rights against self-incrimination.

Computer specialist Bryan Pagliano has refused to answer questions about his role in setting up the server used by Clinton while she was secretary of state. His lawyers say Pagliano does not want to relinquish his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination.

Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner, has been dogged by questions about her use of a private email account for government business.

1. Their hostile stupidity combined with their flailing overreach is..........

2. Rethuglicans

are trying to hold a witch trial and

it's not clear if anyone is going to cooperate in the
manufacture of storyline or evidence

[Fred Sanders]

3. Judicial Watch is NOT an "advocacy group"! They are legal frontmen for the GOP, much like the

criminals manufacturing the PP smear "video". The entire GOP can be properly defined as an organized criminal enterprise these days, their controversial front runner for leader is a confirmed thug.

This is all part of the plan, to Keep IT Alive in the media and in the mind's eye.

7. Those Judicial Watch

assholes were still filing appeals over Filegate as late as 2010. According to Wikipedia, they have kept that thing active, too.

The gophers never give up on the Clintons. All of it is bogus.

[Fred Sanders]

8. Bogus. Word of the year to describe both the GOP and the corporate media who see an unprecedented

3 terms in the WH for a Democrat as unimaginable, but what is unimaginable for the world is having one of the fascists of the GOP in the WH for 1 nanosecond.

4. GOP already DETERMINED that private emails were OK when BushWH used them and

and then disappeared 22 million of them.

5. HRC broke no laws, violated no rules, and did not have her server "wiped clean"

This is whole thing is made up crap.

6. Why don't they just ask the backup company at Fort Meade for copies?

Every tidbit of stuff that passed between HRC, or you and me is in their databases. We're taxpayers; can't we have access to stuff like that?
