Lynch dodged, bobbed, and weaved on a simple question:
Is it illegal to hand off classified materials to someone who does not hold a security clearance?
Congress' follow-up should have been:
<><>Hillary was allowed to disclose classified data to others not holding security clearances, including her own attorneys and otheraids outside the State Department,
<><> are there documents that Hillary's people were shown that the Committee is not allowed to see?
<><> Can the Congressional committee see those same documents, un-redacted, as Hillary showed them to others?
<><> Since there was no criminal intent on Hillary's part (according to Comey), and criminal intent is required (according to Comey), what criminal intent would be necessary to show the oversight Committee the same documents?
<><> Why can't the committee see everything?
<><> What if Hillary gave those documents to the Committee - would that simply be careless or would it be criminal?
<><> would Comey give Congress a pass?

Demand Congress follow-up using these questions (hat tip SERKIT):
