As unbelievable as it might sound, after all the hullaballoo about Benghazi, Libya, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Email trail that links Hillary to all the above, she has STILL NOT BEEN INTERVIEWED! So as the 2016 Prez race develops, is Hillary out of the woods? By no means. WA Post columnist Chris Cillizza writes, “Hillary Clinton’s email problems just got much worse." stating

The report badly complicates Clinton’s past explanations about the server and whether she complied fully with the laws in place governing electronic communication. And it virtually ensures that Clinton’s email practices will be front and center in Donald Trump’s attacks against her credibility and honesty between now and Nov. 8.

The inspector general found that Clinton’s use of private email for public business was “not an appropriate method” of preserving documents and that her practices failed to comply with department policies meant to ensure that federal record laws are followed.

The report says Clinton, who is the Democratic presidential front-runner, should have printed and saved her emails during her four years in office or surrendered her work-related correspondence immediately upon stepping down in February 2013. Instead, Clinton provided those records in December 2014, nearly two years after leaving office.


Clinton used an inappropriate method of preserving her documents. Her approach would not have been approved if it had been requested by a more junior member of the State Department staff.  The report also suggests that despite a Clinton aide’s insistence that the method of preserving her emails had been submitted to a legal review back in 2010, there is no evidence that such a review took place. And, here’s the kicker: Clinton refused to sit for a formal interview.
