It’s time to wind down the Clinton email investigation
By Editorial Board July 1 at 8:21 PM
NO DOUBT it’s difficult to refuse a visit with a former president of the United States. Still, Attorney General Loretta Lynch should have found a polite way to excuse herself when Bill Clinton dropped by her airplane, parked next to his at a Phoenix airport Monday. Given that Ms. Lynch has ultimate responsibility for the federal investigation related to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to conduct official business while secretary of state, even an impromptu chat between the attorney general and the candidate’s husband was bound to create questionable appearances — even if its actual content was purely social, as Ms. Lynch maintains and as we believe.
To her credit, Ms. Lynch acknowledged her misstep Friday in an interview with The Post’s Jonathan Capehart at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. She described the cloud it created over the Justice Department’s objectivity as inaccurate but nevertheless “painful.” Equally appropriately, she said she expected to follow the lead of career prosecutors at the department in deciding what, if any, legal consequences Ms. Clinton should face due to the transmission of classified information via the unsecured server.
Our view of the matter, stated in previous editorials and supported by a fair reading of the law and publicly available evidence, is that Ms. Clinton committed a grave error in judgment, compounded by a willful violation of internal State Department rules designed to ensure records were properly preserved with maximum protection against cybersecurity risks.

Did the DNC write this for you?
Nothing the Clinton’s do “rises to the level of crime...”
“..even if its actual content was purely social, as Ms. Lynch maintains and as we believe.”
Does ANYBODY really believe that?
When I saw this title I knew it was either from The New York Times or The Washington Post. Yea, I’ll bet they think it’s time to move on.
“...because she did not set up and use the server with the legally requisite criminal intent or even with “gross negligence,” as it has been defined in relevant case law.”
Hillary Clinton bent over backwards with the premeditated intent to violate the law.
If that is not criminal intent, then the concept must be abandoned forever.
I prefer “Off with her head” to “winding down”
Hillary Clinton is an enemy of the Republic. Her E mail fiasco proves she has no regard for the Republic and holding a high office allowed secrets of the state to escape to who knows where.
And so, Wapo believes HRC is innocent...in other news, water has been found to be wet.
Our view of the matter, stated in previous editorials and supported by a fair reading of the law and publicly available evidence, is that Ms. Clinton committed a grave error in judgment,
...
But Amazon’s newspaper would still back her for president in spite of the grave error in judgment.
Yeah! Wind it down and issue the freekin indictment. A jury will never convict her but at least she’ll face humiliation.
Right on time.
Washington comPost coming in like the cavalry to save the Clintons and the Democrats from the savages.
What we need is the Composts Sitting Bull

Laughable if it weren’t so serious...
True journalism... LOL.
It’s time to wind down the Clinton email investigation before the truth gets out.
