Is there any evidence that she peddled classified information to the press or to US enemies? (post shortened) You forgot to mention that the Democrats are willing to excuse any and all accusations against Hillary, which would have been a more non-partisan approach. The FBI is investigating Hillary, Hillary’s emails, and Hillary’s keeping of government documents on her own personal server. The pundits talk, the media outlets talk, the internet talks, and politicians from all parties talk, but the only one who’s words and indictments matter are those of the FBI and they aren’t talking. Sufficient to say, there is a FBI investigation into Hillary’s emails and when they announce the close of their investigation, or announce the indictment of Hillary and friends, we the voters will have a clearer understanding of just what they’re looking at. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-exactly-did-hillary-clinton-do-that-was-so-bad-with-the-email-scandal/745264)._
