As pressure builds on Hillary Clinton to explain her official use of personal email while serving as secretary of state, she faced new complications Tuesday. It was disclosed her top aides are being drawn into a burgeoning federal inquiry and that two emails on her private account have been classified as “Top Secret.”

The inspector general for the Intelligence Community notified senior members of Congress that two of four classified emails discovered on the server Clinton maintained at her New York home contained material deemed to be in one of the highest security classifications - more sensitive than previously known.

The notice came as the State Department inspector general’s office acknowledged that it is reviewing the use of “personal communications hardware and software” by Clinton’s former top aides after requests from Congress.

“We will follow the facts wherever they lead, to include former aides and associates, as appropriate,” said Douglas Welty, a spokesman for the State Department’s inspector general.

The email investigation will drag on for several months and Hillary will be cleared of any wrongdoing by AG Loretta Lynch. However she will be defeated in the Presidential election by Senator Marco Rubio who will win by a landslide.... Remember you saw it here first...

A Republican winning by a landslide? The liberal owns the popular vote. The only way any Republican winning by a landslide is "IF" the liberal stays home and don't vote at all, which is not going to happen. Gerrmendering is not going to help in a Presidential Election. Why would any veteran for that matter even consider voting for a political party that vote against the veterans?

You make a good point Cpl Young because Liberals disgusted with Hillary's emails & Clinton Foundation issues just might decide to stay home & not vote.. Ask your Liberal friends if they are feeling the Bern yet ?? As you know Ole Bernie Saunders is gaining on Mrs Clinton So you have to believe that if Hillary has to keep defending her emails throughout the Primaries it will take it's toll on voters opinion of the Teflon Granny...

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Unfortunately in our great country "money talks" and the Clinton's between the two of them have assembled a very formidable "war chest" for this second run at the Presidency. Politics is big business and she will have a lot of money going her way. I don't think she will let the emails and State Department misteps stop her from reaching her ultimate goal - the first woman President. Hillary's campaign in 2016 could run an estimated $1.7 Billion Dollars!

Here is a breakdown of what she spent in 2008:
Expenditures Breakdown, 2008 Cycle
Media, $52.2M
Administrative, $47.9M
Campaign Expenses, $47M
Salaries, $38M
All Other, $23.8M
Unclassifiable, $16.3M

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Mikel; One could always think of it as a (counting all the candidates and potential candidates) pre-nomination and post-nomination expenditures as an $11,250,000,000 (rough guess) "economic stimulus package".

But the real game is going to be guessing who is going to want "value for money" and how much.

Liberals, comments, socialist, and brown shirts will forgive her just to get her ideology in the White House and to backup the one we got now. It's a shame we lost so much do socialism and communism

SSG Leonard Johnson - Staff; The real question is NOT "What have we lost?" but rather it is "Who gave it away and who allowed them to do so?".

If a country has "corrupt" politicians being elected over and over, who is it that is voting for them and why aren't the people opposing them coming out in droves to vote for politicians who are NOT "corrupt"?

Think of the question as being a parallel to the question one should ask those who complain "Foreigners are buying up America." - that question being "Who is selling it to them?".

Maj Richard "Ernie" Rowlette - Major; I agree completely.

Now, let's stop blaming "Them".

PS - I don't see the "dumbing down" as a 'conspiracy' of anything other than people who want to make as much money as they can as fast as they can all deciding that there was more money to be made out of 'dumb' people than there was to be made out of 'not dumb' people and acting in their own, individual, self interests.

If and I mean if she raises legitimate money from the general population, it will mark the final nail in the coffin of the country knowing that the people who helped her have lost all moral sensibilities. No one will be able to escape the decline.

If she gets the Democrat nomination, I've voting for her. Not even if hell freezes over would I even consider voting for any Republicans.

Take a hard look at Senator Marco Rubio you might just change you mind. He is only 42 years old with an impressive resume. Plus you may see the email controversy turn out to be the deciding factor in the Democratic primary election. My guess is although she might be cleared of any wrongdoing, voters just may not trust her or want to see her and Old Bill back in the White House. Most voters want somebody else... Of course, I could be completely wrong but have given this idea a lot of though lately..

I've looked at all the GOP candidate and all I see is the same BS who only cares only about the rich. I can't in good conscience vote against my best interest, additionally, my value parallel those of liberals. More importantly, the GOP have been voting against the VA bills for quite sometimes and that just left a bad impression on me.

Ernie, with the landscape of our political party, I don't think there's much choice in the matter. Since our political system is based on either/or, it would be best to select the side that closely resemblance your own belief and I believe that liberal have my best interest at heart and it is the lesser of the two evils.

In the words of Hilary clinton, "what difference does it make?" She will get away with it because that is what we don't want to happen.

Can't argue with that SSG (Join to see). She's what we called thieves in Vietnam. "A Slicky". They stole from you but you never knew about it until it was over.

I agree & don't forget Hillary has to appear before Congress in October to answer questions again about Benghazi. And did she turn over all of her emails as requested.

I don't think it will even come close to her demise. She's popular and most of her following has blinders on, plus they hate the Republicans. Also, part of her ticket is the first female POTUS, and she has a huge following just on that alone. She'll be in for the long haul, IMHO.

Just like her lying husband. I remember when she was interviewed by Barbra Walters about Bill's involvement with Monica Lewinski. When asked what she was going to do, she said she'll stand by her man. That told me it probably happened a lot before Lewinski. So their both a couple of weasels who weasel their way through life. I don't understand why she isn't seen as a liar and untrustworthy.

SPC Americo Garcia, She just looks shady doesn't she. I'm sure Chelsy is very proud of her parents. Maybe that's why we never hear from her.
