It's just gotten more visibility from our Select Benghazi Committee who is probably setting a new world record for time and cost in investigating something. And it's really mainly about "talking points" - like we should know within days the detail about an event in Libya - really?
No wonder Trump is doing so well... Trump has said that Hillary should be punished more severely than General Petraeus who received only a probation and fine. Remember that the General deliberately distributed material to his girlfriend - hardly comparable to Hillary's thing as we know it. Petraeus should have lost all benefits and maybe spent a little time in confinement.
I have to disagree, somebody ordered setting up a private server. This was a deliberate act and it compromised national security...regardless if anything was actually compromised or not. The laws regarding the handling of classified information are very clearly written. The material is deemed classified at the time it was created, even if it is not marked as such. The originator of the material has final say over classification, this is why one should not use a unsecured email source, as she did. If private email accounts have been used by others, regardless of what party, I think they should also be investigated. It's not political to me, its about the highest roles of leadership in this country being held accountable....just as you and I would be.
