I don't know about that. Hillary set up the private server. Someone should have told her no, but that's probably her (and Bill's) biggest failing. They don't like being told no, and have tempers, so there's an resistance to doing so. The FBI prosecutes people for sending classified information on private servers. Petraus for one.Due process of law requires that first there is evidence of a crime being committed, than it is determined who committed that crime.
It seems to me that in this case, congress first determined that Clinton had committed a crime, then went searching for evidence that a crime had been committed.
That violates the principal of due process. It constitutes a political witch hunt. Without evidence of a crime being committed FIRST, those that started this investigation are seriously abusing their power.
How would you like it if law enforcement agencies decided that you had committed a crime, then went hunting for evidence of a crime.
No. I mean what caused the original investigation into Clinton's emails?
Was it just that some congressmen found out that she had an email server, so they decided to launch an investigation? What was the original evidence that started the whole thing?

No, it became public knowledge when "Guccifer" hacked Sidney Blumenthal, and got tied up into the Benghazi investigation.
So it appears that Clinton's emails were subpoenaed without any evidence of a crime having been committed, in violation of the principal of due process. It was a severe abuse of power by the congressmen that started the investigation for the sole purpose of undermining democracy.

Well see there you go. You have snippets from sites, the most non-partisan of which is Fox, saying the FBI was floored with "Comey's decision. That's the point. The FBI are the invesigators. The DOJ attorneys choose what to prosecute and what not to prosecute. Lynch said she would defer the decision to Comey and her staff. Most likely the FBI agents who sifted the emails wanted a prosecution. The prosecutors did not.Could someone explain why Clinton's emails were subpoenaed in the first place? Why weren't Colin Powell's or Condoleezza Rice's emails subpoenaed? They had private email servers too. For that matter shouldn't all private email accounts of everyone that has classified clearances have their private email subpoenaed?
The whole issue seems like a political hatchet job and nothing more.
Comey’s whitewash didn’t go over well with either Americans or longtime FBI agents who reacted angrily to Comey’s over-the-top corruption. Subsequently, in recent months Comey has had a virtual mutiny on his hands as in the FBI boss has lost all credibility, respect, and moral authority.

The F.B.I. is investigating whether Mrs. Clinton, her aides or anyone else broke the law by setting up a private email server for her to use as secretary of state. Internal investigators have concluded that the server was used to send classified information. For the Justice Department, the central question is whether the conduct met the legal standard for the crime of mishandling classified information.

Standing for SlippingIs America Going To Elect A President Who Will Be Selecting Her Own Prosecutors As The Email Investigation Continues Post-Election?
Journalist Carl Bernstein, who played a key role in uncovering the Watergate scandal in the Nixon era, says Hillary Clinton’s email fiasco is in no way “bigger than Watergate.” [Politico Oct 29, 2016] But Watergate was a simple break-in at a Democrat electioneering office. Hillary Clinton not only operated her email system outside normal security procedures but did so to hide the fact she was operating her pay-to-play schemes at the State Department and was lining her pockets with millions of dollars in the process. Hillary Clinton literally put the State Department up for sale says a report published in the New York Post. [New York Post Aug 9, 2016]

The media never allow us to think about the other thing that Watergate proved. The Democrats were so lazy, irresponsible, cheap, and sloppy that they couldn't protect their own private campaign information, so why would we expect them to protect the nation or be competent enough to run it?
