Shocker! Guess who Rep. Elijah Cummings blames for Hillary's email shenanigans

Did her predecessor have a private server at home to use for State Department communications too? https://t.co/7CgsLUTtXP

As we reported earlier, a State OIG has found that Hillary Clinton did not comply with the Federal Records Act as secretary of state. The OIG also found that Clinton and her team were not cooperative with the investigation into her private server and use of a private email address for official State business.

Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings defended Clinton:

Cummings: The IG confirmed..that Secretary Clinton followed the practice of her predecessor when she used a personal email account.

Cummings: While..Clinton preserved/returned tens of thousands of pages of her emails to the Dept for public release, Powell returned none.

Cummings: Republicans need to stop wasting taxpayer dollars singling out Secretary Clinton just because she is running for President.

And besides, who’s really to blame for Hillary’s under-the-radar tactics?

Cummings: If GOPers really care about transparency, they will work constructively..to (fix)..flaws in the State..recordkeeping practices

It’s the Republicans’ fault? Go figure.
