Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, John Podesta, received an email from an advisor on March 9, 2016, which brought up the phrase “gross negligence” in regards to the FBI’s email investigation on Hillary Clinton. The email was sent to John Podesta on March 9th — via Wikileaks:
This was before the FBI agent in charge of the probe removed the phrase from her exoneration statement, according to WikiLeaks.
Podesta Emails #45924 (WikiLeaks)
In a March 2016 email from former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy to Clinton campaign chairman Podesta's Gmail account, Flournoy included links to two articles concerning the FBI email investigation; one from the Washington Post which minimized Clinton's actions, and a legal analysis from retired D.C. attorney Paul Mirengoff in which he suggests Clinton was "grossly negligent or worse" and may be in serious hot water. (h/t Mike)
To summarize, former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy sent John Podesta an email to his Gmail account on March 9, 2016 - with a Washington Post article containing a link to an opinion by a retired D.C. attorney who thinks Clinton committed Gross Negligence. Former FBI Director James Comey's original draft from May 2, contained the phrase, and at some point over the next eight weeks, Peter Strzok - the man who headed up the investigation, removed it - materially changing the legal significance of Clinton's actions, effectively "decriminalizing" her behavior when Comey gave his speech on July 5, 2016.

Here's something to include yeah?
And yet, something felt odd about this.
Kadzik... Kadzik... where have we heard that name?
Oh yes. Recall our post from last week, "Clinton Campaign Chair Had Dinner With Top DOJ Official One Day After Hillary's Benghazi Hearing" in which we reported that John Podesta had dinner with one of the highest ranked DOJ officials the very day after Hillary Clinton's Benghazi testimony?
It was Peter Kadzik.

Hillary lost ....
I fail to grasp the obsession with her. If Trump hasn't indited her by now; he's not going to.

President Trump can make suggestions, but he's not in charge of deciding who and who not to indict.

She broke the law.
Podesta broke the law.
Whats difficult to understand? Being a loser does not grant a person immunity from prosecutions.
> The argument here would be that Clinton engaged in such “gross negligence” by transferring information she knew or should have known was classified from its “proper place” onto her private server, or by sharing it with someone not authorized to receive it. Yet, as the Supreme Court has said, “gross negligence” is a “nebulous ” term. Especially in the criminal context, it would seem to require conduct more like throwing classified materials into a Dumpster than putting them on a private server that presumably had security protections. > > My point here isn’t to praise Clinton’s conduct. She shouldn’t have been using the private server for official business in the first place. It’s certainly possible she was cavalier about discussing classified material on it; that would be disturbing but she wouldn’t be alone, especially given rampant over-classification. > > The handling of the emails is an entirely legitimate subject for FBI investigation. That’s a far cry from an indictable offense.

Until she is indited and tried by a jury of her peers she skates. same with P. As a cop, you should know this.

Fair enough...
What government entity is going to indite her?

You're wrong. Go to the Washington Post article (I linked it above). It's a straight copy-n-paste of the Washington Post article. The links you're seeing are all present in the article.

Yup - its why I corrected you on your "she lost the election leave her alone" position. Its nice to know though you do understand how the law works. Now we just need to work on understanding that the law applies to Clinton and Cronies along with everyone else.
