What happened to the fact that the email investigation originated out of the claim that

Hillary had set up the private server in her home to evade the FOIA requirement. The FBI director did not mention anything about that issue. I'm not stating this to violate board rules about RW Talking Points. My point in raising this is that the RW continues to use the Justice Dept and the GOP Congress to conduct endless witchhunts against the Clintons and have done so since the Clintons first took the nation stage. How much longer will they be allowed to continue to use the FOIA as a tool to investigate the Clintons with the hope that they will eventually stumble upon something that will lead to something else, which ultimately leads to nothing when all is said and done.

2. False claims

A nearly infinite number of false claim for used to justify this investigation in the first place.

The original claim was that Hillary Clinton had written an email that would prove her complicity in Benghazi.

Eventually this was whittled down to the fact that she had a server in her home, and a false claim is made that this was criminal.

I look forward to 8 more years of this kind of nonsense. While the Republican party and Bernie Sanders attempted to spin this into a gigantic problem, Hillary Clinton quietly won the primary.

3. I never thought this was about a private server or any such thing.

It always went back to it's origins for me. FOIA requests and the fact that right wing organizations were certain that if they got enough of her email out into the public it would destroy her. They have this image built up of her and thought her emails would mimic their preconceived notions. That is what this has all been about.

Can you imagine reading this many of Trump's emails? He wouldn't have made it to his first podium.

7. FBI was focused on handling of classified material. FOIA is the purview of the DOJ, I think.

The former could have resulted in some kind of criminal prosecution. I don't think that's true of the latter.

9. Judicial Watch is a right-wing organization.

Why anyone pays any attention to that group is beyond me. It's hard to sink much lower than to rely on them for anything relating to the truth. For goodness' sake!
