“Just ask Russia and China for them.”

They’re not going to give them up! They want to use them to blackmail her if she gets elected.

***A smart would candidate would harp on this to the exclusion of a lot.***

Right on. Clinton is saying a lot of crap now that Biden ran away. I would think the Republicans would make hay, if only to shut her up.

Most White House communications, especially from the POTUS, would be Sensative but Unclassified as a minimum,mid not at least Confidential.min that has Obama himself would be guilty of sending classified or Sensative unclassified information to an unencrypted non government computer. I wonder if that is why he is hiding it.

"Reminds me of Nixon refusing to turn over the tapes . . . until the SC ruled against him"

I thought of that.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

1973 Congress: Mr. Nixon, give us those tapes!

Nixon: No. they're covered under executive privilege.

1973 Congress: Ok, we'll get the SC to rule.

SC: Mr. President, you MUST release the tapes.

Nixon: Ok. (releases tapes/transcripts)

2015 Congress: Madam SOS: give us your communications between you and the POTUS!

Hillary: No, I'll give you transcripts that I may or may not have.

2015 Congress: Ok. We're sorry we are harassing you for political gain. Won't happen again. MSM, please stop thinking republicans are mean.

I'm trying to see an equivalent scenario where the 1973 Congress would just grill Henry Kissinger. They went after EVERYONE in the Nixon WH.

People squealed, people went to jail. Nixon resigned.

Over LESS.

So Obama did know at least about Hillary’s private email account. Why was he conducting official business on it?

Since you asked ...

In Watergate, a special prosecutor/independent counsel had been named, filed indictments and subpoenaed the tapes, the White house refused, the SP appealed, the SC ruled and Nixon complied.

In 1999, Congress allowed the Watergate era Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to expire with both parties arguing that a Special Prosecutor once named had unlimited, time, budget and powers so the Ethics In Government Act "was effectively replaced by Department of Justice regulation 28 CFR Part 600, under which Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald was appointed to look into the Plame affair."

28 CFR Part 600 provides: Section 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.

The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and

(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and

(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.


Thus the DOJ (Holder/Loretta Lynch) has COMPLETE DISCRETION as to appointment of a special prosecutor so if you assume a corrupt presidency with a corrupt head of the DOJ we Americans can only watch helplessly as the Fast & Furious, IRS, VA, EPA, Benghazi, etc. scandals unfold and not a single person is prosecuted even when congressional investigations establish clear criminal activity has occurred. Sigh.
Congress should have the power to appoint a Special Prosecutor with a Special Oversight Judge to ensure against dilatory tactics.

Maybe suspend pay for all involved executive department heads and their staff until documents requested are produced. Maybe no pResidential vacations or golf outings until compliance is acheived? More suggestions are welcome.

;-)
