The highest step....of criminal penalties 20 years ..by anyone who destroys "any records, documents or tangible objects...with intent to impede , obstruct, or influence the proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States...

"Mrs Clinton herself, in a now famous email, cautioned State Department employees not to conduct official business on personal email accounts

"Once you assume a public office, your communications about anything having to do with your job are not your personal business or property. They are the public's business and the public's property and are to be treated no differently from communications of like sensitivity".

"That something so obvious could have eluded Mrs. Clinton raises questions about her suitability both from the office she held and the office she seeks."

P.S. This should not be a party issue irrespective of party there has been a serious breach here and the rule of law should prevail.

When reading this article Benghazi, IRS scandals, Edward Snowden and Pvt Bergdahl came to mind.

The political class may believe impeding investigation etc is normal operating procedure but we the people will suffer fools. speak up right is right wrong is wrong
