Donald Trump rules the Airways as Hillary Clinton keeps getting caught lying about her private server that Hillary choose to hide her activity as Secretary Of State with.
Disrespecting you and me and everybody else to say nothing about breaking this country's "Freedom of Information Act, and it probably violates national security legislation."

Fact Check: Hillary Clinton, Those Emails And The Law
Hillary Clinton: "I took the unprecedented step of asking
that the State Department make all my work-related emails public for
everyone to see."
Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP "I think they all fall into one great big mistake she made," Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa told Newsmax before adding: "And it could be a violation of law, probably is a violation of law.
Some people are suggesting she could even be prosecuted, and it's as simple as this — she was using a private email address instead of a government one, and it probably violates the Freedom of Information Act, it probably violates national security legislation."
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley,
R-Iowa, charged that Hillary Clinton "probably" broke the law with her
exclusive use of a private email address while secretary of state.
J. Scott Applewhite/AP But what are the facts? And what are the laws?
The Laws
At issue are four sections of the law: the Federal Records Act, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) regulations and Section 1924 of Title 18 of the U.S. Crimes and Criminal Procedure Code.
In short:
- The Federal Records Act requires agencies hold onto official communications, including all work-related emails, and government employees cannot destroy or remove relevant records.
- FOIA is designed to "improve public access to agency records and information."
- The NARA regulations dictate how records should be created and maintained. They stress that materials must be maintained "by the agency," that they should be "readily found" and that the records must "make possible a proper scrutiny by the Congress."
- Section 1924 of Title 18 has to do with deletion and retention of classified documents. "Knowingly" removing or housing classified information at an "unauthorized location" is subject to a fine or a year in prison.
