The Department of Justice has caved to pressure from the White House and is reportedly reopening the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
According to the Daily Beast, there is a new effort in the department to get new details on how Clinton and her aides — including former top aide Huma Abedin — handled classified material. The effort will look at how much classified information was on her private email server, and how that information got there.
President Trump has continually questioned if and when the Justice Department would reopen its investigation into Clinton. He tweeted on Dec. 2: “Many people in our Country are asking what the ‘Justice’ Department is going to do about the fact that totally Crooked Hillary, AFTER receiving a subpoena from the United States Congress, deleted and ‘acid washed’ 33,000 Emails? No justice!”
Last week, conservative group Judicial Watch won a lawsuit against the State Department and released emails showing that classified information was on the computer of Abedin’s then-husband Anthony Weiner.
The FBI previously investigated and declined to criminally prosecute Clinton for her use of the email server. But Trump and his supporters used the email debacle as a rallying cry throughout the campaign.

It took Guiliani years to develop the RICO case against the Columbo family. These investigations are just as complex and will require years to finish. They will require actual evidence not rumors and pipe dreams.
We are not going to be apprised of the DoJ and AG actions.
Choice of venue is critical so it is good to see the Little Rock chosen to bring this project into existence.
I’ve got nothing against you, but I have never seen a group so anxious to defend NOTHING.
It’s just danged comical to watch folks get upset because I am willing to call Sessions on the carpet.
The Clintons have been major crooks since the late 1980s. We have let them slip through our fingers time and again.
Now we are 1/4th the day through the Trump first administration, and all I am getting is the big stall routine. Sorry, but I’ve had it up to here with that B.S.
Excuses, nothing, more excuses, outrage, talk about Sessions character...
NOTHING!
I defended the guy up until December. I’m done explaining he may be doing something we don’t know about.
If you are his big bud, I suggest you and your other friends here, start communicating with his office and telling them the natives are restless.
I’ve had it up to here with idle promises.
Hillary email ping
Judicial proceedings do not go on your schedule nor will you know what is going on. It is critical to have every I dotted and every t in place.
How long did it take Guiliani to convict the Columbo family? Were you aware he was investigating them?
Nothing would be worse than to have a “not guilty” verdict in one of these cases. It would encourage and revivify the Left and make our side even more cynical than the critics already are.
I think you make some reasoned rebuttals there.
At the same time we have every right to expect to see something tangible taking place.
I’m telling you right now, if he drags this out past July and still nothing, he’ll be done with.
Not you, I, or anyone else will be able to defend him on the charge of lack of action.
If he’s as good a man, savvy and all, as you make him out to be, he’ll know this. If not, heaven help him.
Do I want to see him replaced mid investigations? No I honestly don’t, but something needs to be going on. Some tangible charges need to start coming out and indictments leveled.
Complicating the investigation, a rather large number of influential bureaucrats who should investigate and prosecute the Clinton crime family instead chose to participate in or cover up their criminal conspiracies. How often does one see a successful prosecution when the prosecutors are co-conspirators with the defendants? Then we have the matter of choosing a venue: unfortunately, Clinton crime family is not super-stupid and commits most of its crimes in areas with very pro-Clinton juries (see election returns in the City of New York and the District of Columbia).
To win a successful prosecution easily, office of the Attorney General must identify unbiased investigators, who will not sabotage the investigation and who do not conspire with the defendants, and identify a district court of competent jurisdiction with a jury pool not so ridiculously biased that even a confession in open court and substantial evidence and impeccable witnesses to support it still would result in a verdict of “not guilty.” May I recommend some jurisdiction that voted against Hillary as strongly as the District of Columbia voted for her?
Because of the need to prevent politically motivated sabotage into the investigation of a crime network that penetrates to the highest echelons of the civil service in the investigative bureaucracies, I can understand the Attorney General working slowly and quietly on this case.
After all the progress we have seen in a year I find it hard to criticize one of Trump’s biggest advocates. I will also be very unhappy if nothing is happening by July.
I am hopeful that there are major developments going on under the surface, like sitting above a nuclear submarine when it surfaces.
We can agree that both of us want to see Sessions succeed.
You take care, and thanks for the discussion.
