John Boehner afraid House search for Hillary's emails would appear 'highly partisan'

Several sources reported Thursday evening that House Speaker John Boehner would prefer that the Inspector General at the State Department perform a search for Hillary Clinton’s allegedly deleted emails from her tenure as secretary of state, fearing that a direct search by the House itself would appear “highly partisan.”

Boehner doesn't want House itself to search for Hillary emails. Would 'be looked at as highly partisan.' Wants IG at State Dept to do it…

@ByronYork Fine, have the IG inspect the server. But did @SpeakerBoehner just confirm that he won't subpoena it? If he doesn't, NOBODY will!

@ByronYork If Boehener doesn't have the courage to subpoena the server, then he just GUARANTEED that the truth will never be found.

@ByronYork Who cares about Partisanship? I do not understand why the DOJ has not opened a criminal case…

Aren’t those emails long gone anyway? Boehner doesn’t think so.

John Boehner is skeptical the Hillary emails are really gone for good. 'These things just don't go away.' http://t.co/dVkOrahTo3

@ByronYork @instapundit Certainly the operator, if they had brains, saved a backup. But who is that?
