Hillary Clinton E-mail Scandal

            While serving as secretary of state Hillary Clinton was caught using a private server to send emails instead of her government email. For the four years she was secretary of state, Clinton never used an official state.gov email address. Instead, she relied on a private email account on her own personal server. It went unnoticed, until this last summer. Clintons excuse was that she didn’t want to carry around two smartphones, which is interesting because earlier that year she said she lugs around a BlackBerry, an iPhone, an iPad, and an iPad Mini in her purse all the time. When she was asked to turn the emails over, she deleted 31830 emails that she didn’t feel were relevant and selectively picked over the ones to turn in. Investigators said they searched a small sample of 40 emails and found four that contained government secrets. Many politicians are demanding her to immediately turn over her email account. They are viewing her as a threat to our national security. It is said that there were emails on her account exchanged between her and foreign leaders and government officials outside the State Department. Her private emailing probably would still be continuing if it wasn’t for a house committee investigating Clinton’s involvement in the Benghazi attack.
