Reading the FBI Report on Clinton’s Email [View all]
Kevin Drum read the entire FBI report on Hillary Clintons email:
That said, this report is pretty much an almost complete exoneration of Hillary Clinton. She wasnt prohibited from using a personal device or a personal email account, and others at state did it routinely. Shes told the truth all along about why she did it. Colin Powell did indeed advise her about using personal email shortly after she took office, but she chose to follow the rules rather than skirt them, as Powell did. She didnt take her BlackBerry into her office. She communicated with only a very select group of 13 people. She took no part in deciding which emails were personal before handing them over to State. She had nothing to do with erasing information on the PRN server. That was a screw-up on PRNs end. She and her staff all believed at the time that they were careful not to conduct sensitive conversations over unclassified email systems. And theres no evidence that her server was ever hacked.
Theres remarkably little here. If you nonetheless believe that its enough to disqualify Hillary from the presidency, thats fine. I have no quarrel with you. But if the FBI is to be believed, its all pretty small beer.
