A years-long internal State Department review of Hillary Clinton's private email server cited 38 people for violations, but found no "persuasive evidence" of classified information being systematically, deliberately mishandled.

The State Department report, handed over to Congress this month and released on Friday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), found that 38 people were responsible for 91 violations.

The State Department probe included a review of approximately 33,000 emails. A total of 588 violations were found, but 497 could not be tied to a specific individual.

The report does not state what, if any, disciplinary action the individuals will face, or who is responsible for the violations. But it notes that valid violations tied to current State Department officials are sent to the Bureau of Human Resources, while former employees have the violations noted in their files.

The internal review warned that using the private email system for State Department business added an "increased degree of risk" but that it did not find "systemic misuse" of classified information.

I’m so glad that I bought all those whitewash futures...

The Clinton Crime Machine will spend whatever it takes to bribe and/or blackmail their way out of punishment. Hillary Clinton spent well over a billion losing her elections and I don’t think she’ll run out of cash soon.

it did not find "systemic misuse" of classified information.

Did they find any "systemic hiding of Hillary's 'pay to play' and other malfeasance" from FOIA requests?

People used to get locked up for such violations, because these kinds of things can give our enemies access to important defense and security information, which can damage the US.

I wish they would handle all investigations as if Trump were the target

[oldasrocks]

So 38 more suicides?

“..but found no “persuasive evidence” of classified information being systematically, deliberately mishandled...”

Of course not.

[glennaro]

A applied to "elites" and government employees, it's not enough to provide evidence which proves felonies have been committed, prosecutors must have the courage to do what's right ... what's just ... that is, courage to do the jobs they are paid (very well) to do!

Courage, particularly on the GOP side, is nearly non-existent. For so very many in positions of authority and responsibility, their talk is good ... but their courage to stand up for the Constitution and our Republic stops at words. Their actions are limited to running away and hiding to avoid the heavy lifting of preserving the rule of law and of liberty.

“noted in their files”

People who get fired for less, or even go to jail, have a note in their files too.

So this means 497 times ONLY Hillary was responsible.

Yawn, nothing will happen to them

[hans56]

What about the other 300000+ that are being ignored?

So a totem pole of 38 people with each one’s head up the others ass and no shit found in the ears or cheeks

Got it

[Bookshelf]

A staggering one in 55 messages were cited for violations. This under any normal circumstance at the State Department would be cause for dismissal.
