Hillary Clinton is not the subject of a criminal investigation or any Justice Department probe—nor do experts think she ever will be.
- As Hillary Clinton’s emails are gradually released to the public, a release she requested, the Justice Department is ensuring that all government agencies are comfortable with the information being made public.
- Throughout this release, government agencies have expressed differing opinions about whether some emails should be classified. The Justice Department is ensuring the security of the past storage of these emails.
-
The government’s classifying of information does not follow one set of rules.
- Government agencies often classify information differently from each other. This is normal. What is classified to one agency may not be to another.
- Government agencies also are notorious for over-classifying material.
-
Hillary’s ongoing email “scandal” is simply GOP-led manipulation of information that has been public for a long time, and was not considered newsworthy until recently.
- Hillary’s use of personal email followed the precedent of other Secretaries of State. She did not break the law.
- Hillary Clinton’s personal email account has been public knowledge since 2013.
- Hillary never sent or received information that was marked classified.
-
None of this has anything to do with the tragedy in Benghazi.

-
The media’s coverage of Hillary Clinton’s emails reflects a double standard.
- Colin Powell used personal email and unlike Hillary Clinton, Powell did not keep or turn his personal emails over to the State Department.
- Jeb Bush broke the law with his email use, unlike Hillary Clinton. Jeb was required to release his emails when he left office, but delayed for seven years.
- As one reporter wrote on covering Clinton, “every allegation, no matter how ludicrous, is believable until it can be proven completely and utterly false,” and it is assumed that, “Clinton is acting in bad faith until there’s hard evidence otherwise.”
