So you have suspicions about Inspector General McCullough (appointed by Obama) possibly being disingenuous about the letter to Congress?
I seem to remember a void in that post before he was nominated.

Yup, Bernie is smarter sticking to his guns, than he is giving into the demand to give up his integrity. I really do love Bernie for having traits I thought impossible in a politician these days.

That intentional void has always bothered me. Obama never answered "why" he failed during Hillary's entire tenure to appoint the required IG for State. I have my speculations.

While many have been calling Hilary a traitor, there is no evidence for such. As far as can be determined, she did not purposely provide classified information to anyone. What she did was violate security by using her home grown server for transmission of classified information because she was too lazy to carry two blackberrys and too self-important to use the State Department secure server. She thought that she could do it herself and get away with it.
This situation is quite different from that of David Petraeus who willingly provided classified information to his biographer/mistress.
The other thing that Hilary has to worry about is any attempt that she made to cover up any of her actions because that is a certain obstruction of justice charge.

An IG at State might have noticed $6B going missing.
The Bush White House email controversy surfaced in 2007 during the controversy involving the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys. Congressional requests for administration documents while investigating the dismissals of the U.S. attorneys required the Bush administration to reveal that not all internal White House emails were available, because they were sent via a non-government domain hosted on an email server not controlled by the federal government.

Hell, none of those people are privy to the most secret of secrets. That stuff doesn't even officially exist to those people.

OK..So the FBI can and will charge anyone with espionage who has transmitted unclassified email content in the past on private email systems, where that content when scrutinized has been retroactively determined to be sensitive or classified?
By that definition roughly 82% of federal employees are at risk of espionage charges...

Including almost the entire administration of the last republican President..

Let the subpoena's and espionage charges fly!!
Should be interesting!
The officials say the emails included relatively "innocuous" conversations by State Department officials about the CIA drone program, which technically is considered a "Special Access Program" because officials are briefed on it only if they have a "need to know."
She said "the best we can determine" is that the emails in question were a forward of a New York Times article on a classified drone program and that they had likely been retroactively classified.
"How a New York Times public article that goes around the world could be in any way viewed as classified, or the fact that it would be sent to other people off of the New York Times site, I think, is one of the difficulties that people have in understanding what this is about," Clinton said.
Though the drone program was classified at the time, it was being written about publicly, which Clinton said, "strikes me as somewhat strange that there would be a — an effort by those who are leaking this — and obviously that's what's happening — to try to raise concerns and doubts about information in the public sector."

Cool.
One down, 500 more to go.
Really? They're making a big deal about forwarding a publicly published news article, using a private email server?
