37. The what has been explained. Do you mean where or when?

The answer to where and when is, the decision to seek a Grand Jury indictment is ultimately a political decision made by the Attorney General. In the case of CIA Director John Deutch who committed acts similar to Hillary (hooked up laptops containing classified materials onto his home internet), the final outcome was that the matter was referred by the Agency IG to the FBI which never resulted in any action being taken by Janet Reno. Deutch was pardoned on Bill's last day in office.

I rather suspect that the outcome will be the same with Hillary. A presidential pardon after the election might legally forestall an Impeachment attempt by the GOP, which will probably have the votes, at least in the House - not sure, and we will see. Ironically, if Hillary is the candidate, her coat-tails will probably not be very long. Not a good way to start a Presidency, in any event.

Under the 2009 EO, she was not legally permitted to use her private server for classified coms. leveymg Oct 2015 #41
Was it a law at the time she became Secretary of State? JTShroyer Oct 2015 #42
The EO date was 12/29/09. Regardless, she continued to operate a private server for >3 yrs leveymg Oct 2015 #43
