Boehner to announce new investigation into Hillary Clinton emails

Representative John Boehner, the top Republican in the US House of Representatives, plans to announce a new investigation this week into Hillary Clinton’s use of email when she led the State Department, ABC News reported on Sunday.

ABC’s This Week program said top Republicans had briefed it about Boehner’s plans, but did not give details.

Clinton, expected to launch her campaign soon for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, has faced a storm of criticism over her email habits. She used a personal email address instead of a government one, as well as a personal server, during the period she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Clinton told a news conference on Tuesday her private email address was a “convenience” so she would not have to carry two mobile devices. She sent and received 62,320 emails while at the State Department and after a review process, 30,490 were provided to the department at its request, a Clinton spokesman said last week. The remaining 31,830 were private and personal records, the spokesman said.

Yeah, I think this is blatant political crap, but I also think it's damaging.

for their own political agenda. Instead of running the country, they are using their positions and power to gain more power.

Is ol' Orangeade REALLY gonna go there???? OMG!!! You just couldn't WRITE this narrative as even SEMI-fiction! No one would believe it!!!!

The BEST thing about this is that it only contributes to one thing... the ouster of the Congressional repigs in 2-4 years.

Which is exactly what we were telling people before the last election. You knew it! I knew it! And here we are, history repeating itself with the same failed wasted agenda.

into the letter mailed to Ayatollah, then we will know if the email is another RW scandal and nothing to it or Boehner is concerned with actions of the members of Congress. I think it will be just another RW scandal of no value.

launched an investigation when the Bush's did the same thing. Hell, Jeb Bush was discussing nuclear reactors via private email that weren't secured right after 9/11.

But oh well, IOKIYAR, and the Democratic Party only has itself to blame.
