Presidential candidate and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) thinks former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton probably violated federal law when she deleted a huge trove of emails.
In a Tuesday radio interview on "The Dana Show," Cruz argued the Democratic presidential front-runner's actions may have even been "criminal."
"It is long past time for a fair and impartial investigation into what occurred here. Based on what she has admitted publicly, it appears that Secretary Clinton's conduct was in violation of federal law and may have even constituted criminal conduct," Cruz said.
Cruz, a former Justice Department lawyer, was reacting to a question from conservative radio host Dana Loesch who said Clinton deleted her emails "after they had been subpoenaed."
Clinton's expected presidential campaign has been under fire since last month, when it was revealed she exclusively used a personal email address as secretary of state, reportedly violating federal guidelines, among other potential problems.
After a week of being battered in the press, Clinton suddenly held a chaotic press conference to defend her conduct. She admitted she should have used a government email but insisted she broke no guidelines. She also revealed she deleted about 30,000 of what she described as her "personal" emails and turned over all of the work-related ones to the State Department.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) said his committee investigating the 2012 attack on the diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, has subpoenaed Clinton for her emails related to the incident. In a statement released at the end of last week, Gowdy said Clinton had wiped her email server "clean" after October 28 of last year, when the State Department "asked the Secretary to return her public record to the Department."
At the time, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill reacted to Gowdy's statement by touting all of her

TED CRUZ: Hillary Clinton’s mass email deletion could be ‘criminal conduct’
COULD BE? Obvious it IS and intentional destruction of evidence. Of course, the NSA should have copies of all her emails.

Deleting emails were much easier than her other alternative:

She is a criminal AND an inept leader who's inactions to protect our Ambassador in Libya caused his death.
Repeat that 100,000 times on every show, radio interview, have all GOP’rs state it, and the sheeple will finally realize she would be a bad choice for President - becuase it's the truth.

This is criminal and you watch she will still run for president anyway.
Saw a *I’m ready for Hillary* bumpersticker on a car last night.
Maybe the country is ready.

It is criminal. There are two sets of rules in this country. One for hardworking slobs and another for the ruling elite.

Yeah, anyone else, or at least any non-democrat,
would be facing prison time for erasing a mail server in question.
