I've been asking this question myself, ever since the news broke.
Peter Strzok’s testimony about the email server scandal involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ... revealed a potential bombshell.
. . .
According to [Representative] Gohmert, the [Intelligence Community Inspector General] discovered that, with four exceptions, “every single one” of Clinton’s emails—more than 30,000—“were going to an address that was not on the distribution list.”
In other words, according to the information Gohmert received from the intelligence inspector general, something was causing Clinton’s server to send copies of all of her email communications outside of the country “to an unauthorized source that was a foreign entity unrelated to Russia.”
If true, this means that Clinton’s email communication with her top aides, department leadership, ambassadors, and other officials, including President Barack Obama, may have been read by an alien entity, perhaps a foreign power hostile to the United States. That could include confidential, sensitive, and even classified information about our foreign policy or our allies.
. . .
One of the other disturbing bits of information that came out of this exchange was that, according to Gohmert, the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General called Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Department of Justice, “four times” because it wanted to brief Horowitz about this forensic analysis and this security breach. But, according to Gohmert, Horowitz “never returned the call.”
According to Horowitz’s recent report on the Clinton email server investigation, the FBI “did not find evidence confirming that Clinton’s email server systems were compromised by cyber means,” but they could not definitively determine that her servers had not been compromised.
Obviously, if the intelligence inspector general has information to the contrary, that would be significant.
If this is true, the Justice Department, the FBI, and the intelligence inspector general have an obligation to disclose to the public and to lawmakers the foreign entity that hacked into Clinton’s server and received all of those communications.

I get the feeling that the same anti-Trump, pro-Clinton cabal that has been partially exposed in the top echelons of our federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies is deliberately stalling on this. I believe they're waiting for the November mid-term elections, in the desperate hope that a Democratic Party majority will take over the House of Representatives and shut down the investigation into their actions. I can think of no other reason for their foot-dragging, constant evasions, and lack of openness towards those charged with overseeing their operations. Can you, dear reader, think of any other explanation? If so, I'd love to hear it.
I hope President Trump will declassify and release all relevant documents in full, so that Congress - and the American people - can judge for themselves. If the suspicions outlined above are true - suspicions I share - then Hillary Clinton, along with every official who tried to cover up for her, should be arraigned on national security charges. Nothing less will suffice.

Hmmmmm.
That gives rise to another thought: Is Jeff Sessions waiting for a Dem takeover in November, too?
What else explains his inaction (aside from blackmail...)
Two names:
Debbie Wasserman Schultz aka used to be know as "Sweet Debbie"

The game is rigged. There is no such thing as justice. Law is flexible and can be contorted to mean whatever it needs to be.
If you remember when Bill Clinton answered a question with "It depends on what your definition of is, is" you can see the open defiance of the rule of law by the highest political officer in the nation. Since there was no real penalty for this, the system and the bureaucracy continues as it was and will be. Corrupt. Self interested. Not responsive to the people.
As much as many would like to see some judgment issued upon Hillary and her staff for blatantly violating the law, it will never happen. Too many powerful agencies and politicians are aligned against that. If it were to occur there would be an accomplices list of thousands.
If anyone sees hide or hair of Jeffie Sessions besides on the back of a milk carton, be sure and pass this along to him, once he comes out of his coma.
There's a part of me that thinks President Trump is sitting back, quietly feeding the other side as much rope as they can pull from him, and is waiting to pounce with something big.
Why do I feel this way? Well, every time They release a new attack, more of Their side gets entangled in it. How many of Their side got shot down by the #MeToo attacks vs our side? How many of Their advisors have been fired, let go, forced to retire even before the results of any of the myriad investigations that are still going on have born any fruit?
Manafort and Flynn are screwed, maybe, but for the most part Our side is sitting pretty on a really nice hand and Trump knows everyone's tells. And Manafort and Flynn will be exonerated in the end.
Meanwhile, bad cases of Arkancide sweep through Their ranks.
As to Hillary's server sending info to an unknown party, the real question is was that done on purpose by Her or her people or was it an attack by some outside force. My bet is that the server was set up that way with full knowledge of Hills et al.
Hillary Clinton should be trussed like a Christmas goose and dropped, head down, off the top of the Washington Monument. Simply for being a dreadful (semi)human being. Arraigning her on National Security Charges is a barely acceptable compromise.

One word: NO.
If they're that desperate to stay out of court (not jail, not really a prospect, but court), I do hope our side is offering every single one of them lenient treatment in exchange for cooperation against the rest.
And I further hope these offers are not sincere.
Peter, between the two outcomes of 1) they all walk with no consequences or 2) the law is ignored to punish them properly (that'd be jail, not execution, given their crimes) ... which is better? I know there are other possibilities, but are 1 and 2 equally bad?
the punishment for treason is execution.
