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.

Yeah, I’m disappointed with the qualifier.
It may even be contempt of Congress.
The Clintons are Teflon.
Could it be the lost emails and documemts been lost in the Benghazi fire ?
Nephelium Carvel.
Well, the chumps of America elected Bill and the Obungler twice each, so I think truth, justice and honor do not mean a thing. As a result, the Hildebeast WILL run for president, and has a good chance to win. I know it sucks, but we have a country full of idiots.
Anyone else but Hilary, it would be. Hillary knows that nothing will happen to her. The man in the moon knows that she will never be prosecuted, no matter what she does. Her and Bill are responsible for hundreds of deaths, if not thousands. She is not concerned by mere Congressional “investigations”.
Well Ted should know if anybody does.
Yeah, I’m disappointed with the qualifier.
Ted shouldn’t cut this criminal any slack at all.
You mean like evidence that Obama and Hillary were supplying stuff for the Muslim Brotherhood tactical advantage?
The DOJ doesn’t care about criminal acts if ‘one of their own’ is involved. And Hillary’s one of ‘their own’.
So even if it is criminal... even if she caused deaths of SEALS - even if she sold out her country Eric Holder won’t give a damn. He’s looking for a conservative who might jay walk...
I must confess that I do not know what this means :O
