Representative John Boehner, the top Republican in the US House of Representatives, plans to announce a new investigation this week into Hillary Clintons use of email when she led the State Department, ABC News reported on Sunday.
ABCs This Week program said top Republicans had briefed it about Boehners 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.

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