A multiyear State Department probe of emails that were sent to former secretary of state Hillary Clintons private computer server concluded there was no systemic or deliberate mishandling of classified information by department employees, according to a report submitted to Congress this month.
The report appears to represent a final and anticlimactic chapter in a controversy that overshadowed the 2016 presidential campaign and exposed Clinton to fierce criticism that she later cited as a major factor in her loss to President Trump.
In the end, State Department investigators found 38 current or former employees culpable of violating security procedures none involving material that had been marked classified in a review of roughly 33,000 emails that had been sent to or from the personal computer system Clinton used.
Overall, investigators said, there was no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information. The report cited instances of classified information being inappropriately transmitted, but noted that the vast majority of those scrutinized were aware of security policies and did their best to implement them.

The story is a good example of a Friday news dump to hide the story.
This is, what, the tenth time she's been cleared on this issue alone?
