Last year, before Hillary Clinton's secret email system became publicly known, Congress passed a law to keep presidents from trying the same trick. If Clinton wins the White House, the law could well be put to the test.
The statute is the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014. It recognizes that government officials sometimes (or in Clinton's case, all the time) want to use private email accounts in the words of the law, "non-official electronic messaging accounts" to conduct government business. Such communications are still federal records, Congress declared, and must be preserved in accordance with existing laws requiring not just the president but all federal officials to preserve their documents.
This is what the new law says about emails:
The President, the Vice President, or a covered employee may not create or send a Presidential or Vice Presidential record using a non-official electronic message account unless the President, Vice President, or covered employee (1) copies an official electronic messaging account of the President, Vice President, or covered employee in the original creation or transmission of the Presidential record or Vice Presidential record; or (2) forwards a complete copy of the Presidential or Vice Presidential record to an official electronic messaging account of the President, Vice President, or covered employee not later than 20 days after the original creation or transmission of the Presidential or Vice Presidential record.

Hillary has a lot of enemies, and the fear of her being a martyr like exists with Barky wont be in the equation.
“Why the DOJ, of course. And we ought to make the DOJ a position appointed by Congress.”
The Attorney General, head of the Department of Justice, must be approved by the US Senate. Eric Holder, Obama’s first AG was approved by a Senate vote of 75 to 21. Loretta Lynch, Obama’s second AG, was approved by a Senate vote of 56 to 43. With respect to the Lynch vote, the Republicans held a majority in the Senate and could have blocked the nomination.
Congress was given the opportunity to deny both Obama nominees and declined.
Worthless politicians feeding at the public teat is the only thing they care about.
The well being of the country and it's citizens mean nothing to the Republicans and their party.
“If Hillary becomes president, who will make her obey the law?”
The same ones who make obama obey the law.
“If Hillary becomes president, who will make her obey the law?”
Same crew that made Obama obey the law. /S
If Hillary became president there would be no laws for her to ignore.
Next time please insert a thumbnail ... I gacked all over my keyboard ....
Sorry, but in all fairness a thumbnail could have evoked the same response.
“If Hillary becomes president, who will make her obey the law?”
The same lawless crew that let Obama and his AG violate the constitution.
I would have looked at it with just one eye and averted my gaze - LOL
Call it the Criminal Justice Department and it doesn’t sound so funny. In fact it sounds like an accurate description.
Who will make her obey the law? Chief Justice Roberts of course! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, snort, chuckle, cough, I laughed so hard I’m choking.
You would look strange too if you had spent most of your life pretending to be married to Bill clinton.
The strain of overwork..has taken SUCH a toll..such a toll.
Little wonder shes trying to control media access to her face...
Hank said it long ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19vApPwWqh8
Popular election of a national leader results (eventually) in dictatorship.
IF this open and unabashed criminal becomes President through voting by masses who should not be allowed the privilege of direct election, the experiment that began in 1788 is over.
Then, finally, we can move on.
