Are you asking for my opinion on the issue of Hilary's email server?
Here's what the facts are, as far as I know them from the FBI's statements and other reporting:
- Hillary ran an email server in a private location, using private devices in a way contrary to State Department regulations.
- Her story and the FBI's investigation differ in their accounts of the facts (exposure of sensitive material, number of devices used among other things).
- Hillary will not be pursued by the FBI for criminal charges.
Here's my take on the situation:
- Given the statements of the FBI, I think they would probably have pursued some sort of charges against other people in other circumstances given similar transgressions.
- The FBI was in a no-win situation: they realized that pursuing the matter would likely have them choosing the next president. Not pursuing charges would make them look like they are treating Hilary with a light hand. I think they took the right approach, and will let the election act as a court of public opinion.
- I dont see why Hillary would run an email server like she did. I can't think of any good reasons to do so.
