Foremost among a half-dozen inquiries and legal proceedings into whether classified information was sent through Mrs. Clintons server is an investigation by the F.B.I., whose agents, according to one law enforcement official, could seek to question Mrs. Clintons closest aides and possibly the candidate herself within weeks.
It is commonplace for the F.B.I. to try to interview key figures before closing an investigation, and doing so is not an indication the bureau thinks a person broke the law. Although defense lawyers often discourage their clients from giving such interviews, Democrats fear the refusal of Mrs. Clinton or her top aides to cooperate would be ready ammunition for Donald J. Trump, the Republican front-runner.
.....
Federal law makes it a crime to mishandle classified information outside secure government channels when someone does so knowingly or more seriously permits it through gross negligence. Mrs. Clinton has correctly pointed out that none of the emails on her server were marked as classified at the time.

(3,089 posts)thing except they had no server. Not one thing ever leaked from Bill and Hillary's server...but plenty did from government servers. That aside, there was no classified info passed to or from that server...except after the fact.

(675 posts)Does anyone honestly think President Obama is going to let the Democratic frontrunner and presumptive nominee get indicted in the middle of the campaign? This would throw our party and the entire election into chaos and certainly hand the presidency to the repukes, can you say President Trump? NO WAY Obama lets this happen!
I support Bernie but I'm a realist, Hillary all but has the nomination locked up. She is going to be the nominee and our next President. If Obama's Justice Dept charges anyone it will be Trump, how many shady dealings are in his past? Trump has committed real crimes, the location of Hillary's email server and her email address while SOS fall far short of criminality.
Look for this to wrap up sooner rather than later with Hillary being cleared of any and all wrongdoing.
