@Tom Dial... Re: So it begins...

The IG was told by the FBI not to pursue the legal aspect of the investigation because it could potentially interfere with their CRIMINAL investigation.

So at best, all the IG could do is to refute the excuses and spin Clinton created by showing that she broke the rules and leave it at that.

Note that the State Department didn't disagree with his findings. This has broader implications towards the FBI investigation which will at a minimum show that HRC and her senior staff (including Patrick Kennedy and other current State Dept. employees) should be charged with multiple counts of perjury, obstruction and violating the Espionage Act with gross negligence.

Keep in mind that HRC's server was set up and maintained by someone who was not qualified to do so. (Seriously check out the IT guy's CV). If you want to put a more interesting spin... This wasn't Clinton's first investigation that dealt with lost emails... Back when they were in the WH, there was a scandal and an investigation where somehow a lot of emails were 'lost'. Of course back then it was someone else and she too didn't have the proper credentials to manage a server or IT Staff.
