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.
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. She has been less than clear and forthright about all of this in her public statements. However, her conduct does not seem to rise to the level of indictable crime, 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.
Ms. Clinton is a candidate for president and, indeed, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee. She and, more importantly, the voters who would ultimately judge her deserve some clarity about her legal liability - one way or the other. It appears that a direct interview with the former secretary is one of the last pieces that the Federal Bureau of Investigation needs to finish this puzzle. Both Ms. Clinton and the FBI should make it happen as soon as possible, and then the latter should publish its findings with all deliberate speed.

Imagine that.
Can Democrat party apologists obfuscators be confronted with the basic and obvious fact that Hillary’s “home brewed” server is the very “smoking gun” that they claim has never been found? Will they make the absurd and ridiculous claim that Hillary’s conscious decision to establish a secret and unsecure server was not “intentional”? It comes to this: either Hillary violated the Espionage Act, or she is a rash and arrogant ignoramus. Which one is it, Democrats?
A liberal democrat can eat a baby, live on TV, and the news media will cheer her and tell us the infant had it coming.

But Officer; I hadn't intended on driving in the HOV lane.
I saw how slow and cumbersome following the other vehicles in these other 4 slow lanes and I had REALLY important stuff I needed to get done and I saw that this inner lane was not being used much at all and it was faster and easier and...
