Its time to wind down the Clinton email investigation
By Editorial Board July 1 at 8:21 PM
NO DOUBT its 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 Clintons use of a private email server to conduct official business while secretary of state, even an impromptu chat between the attorney general and the candidates 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 Posts Jonathan Capehart at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. She described the cloud it created over the Justice Departments 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.

Here is where they have it wrong - DEAD WRONG. No "criminal intent" - or ANY intent - is required to establish violation of the "Federal Records Act". She "failed to take care" of public documents, period in a grossly negligent way, which is indicative of why her IT guy is getting immunity and/or pleading the fifth.
We don’t need to look into that mess andy further, seems we have all the ammunition needed to put her fat ass behind bars. The problem is she is a demodummie and it will not happen. Had she been a conservative she would already BE in jail.
Just wondering, did Bob Woodard contribute to this piece? Was he asked to comment for the record?
I need to hear what he has to say, to know if he's as much a biased hypocrite as the paper he works for.
So, Bob, do you agree that Watergate was a big deal, but this is not? Why?
LOL - Yes, Loretta Lynch used the NEW AND IMPROVED EXCUSE - she said "I wouldn't do it again". That's the same excuse Hillary gave on having a hackable server in her home... It's the de jour excuse for liberal liars... and has replaced the hackneyed "I take full responsibility' which in liberal-speak means 'eff off'.
Nice to see the brain dead butt kissers at the Washington Post falling for this... as if any effort had to be made to convince them.
The Ministry of Propaganda does get some of their stuff directly from the DNC. And some from the RNC. And some from the Cheap Labor Express.
None of it is news. Or truth.
“Boycott Amazon ..
Billionaire Learjet Leftist Bezo has abused his power and made the Compost his DNC Newsletter !
Even the Graham con artist family never went this far . From the lib rag that drove a GOP Pres from office this screed is pretty outrageous propaganda belch by the radicals running this rag.”
nailed it.
To date:
1) Cancelled my Macy’s account last year
2) Family will never set foot in a Target again
3) Cancelled my Amazon account earlier this year
So they recommend no consequences for grave errors in judgment, willful violations of the law, and then lying about it. Is this the same recommendation they'd give a Republican?
