The next question I have is when was the laptop purchased in comparison to when the investigation began?
Was the laptop purchased after the investigation began?
How is Huma not being held responsible for placing classified material on an unclassified laptop which was accessible by someone without a clearance of any kind?
Something is not adding up.

That sounds like you are saying anyone can verbally exchange classified info with an unauthorized person because the conversation itself was not classified at the time.
I'm not seeing any difference, if I am understanding your point.
What I am saying is that we don't know the context in which the emails in question were classified. Some emails, such as the Blumenthal emails, were classified after the fact, contained info that would have been classified if it were in the hands of government at that time, but actually originated outside of government for private usage.
Classified "after the fact" because the classifying authorities didn't know the emails existed until "after the fact".
In the case of the Blumenthal emails, they should have never been classified, by the governments own criteria.

They're not in jail because they've got friends (or dirt on people) in high places.
Simple as that.

Because our current AG decided not to prosecute. If Obama doesnt grant Clinton a pardon I think she will go to jail when the new administration takes over.
I hope so, because everyone with a clearance knows you don't setup a personal server to conduct official gov business. That's just common knowledge. Especially for someone that's been working in the gov for 30+ years. She knew she was breaking the law.

You do realize that this is a completely different issue and not at all comparable?
It is comparable. WH officials used a private server to communicate official business, which is against the law.
GWB might have had some communications, but HRC was storing and sending classified information illegally
Might have? Do you know for sure what he was sending, or his staff?
and possibly auctioning some of that information out to foreign powers and enemies of the state through the Clinton Foundation, and directly funding Isis with donations from these foreign powers.
Sure. Find that evidence and come tell me about it.
I'm not saying GW was right for using his own server, but he wasn't storing top secret information there, he was discussing who to fire. It also doesn't mean he didn't use it for other reasons, but he didn't get caught, so what could be, would be, might be, isn't, where as in HRC's case, it's case closed -- she did it.
Ok. That goes back to my comment about hypocrisy.

I would say if the feds are unwilling to do there jobs then the states should start checking to see if any of her actions violated state laws.

So tired of the crap the left puts out defending Hillarys use of a private server in her house....
IF the FBI were doing an investigation on of the above individuals in the same scenario of classified emails on an unclassified server, and that individual refused, stalled, deleted, wiped, whatever the information that was being requested, it could be obtained via a secondary source, such as the email provider, ie; AOL, Yahoo, Google, the RNC.
There was no secondary source to get at what Hillary had......she had total 100% control of what, when, and how any information was released.

I blame the DOJ and not the FBI. The DOJ is the one who determines if a prosecution is going forward.
