How is that not criminal?

A British publication, looking for increased revenues, has entered the growing market for right-wing Catholic journalism.

Clinton, in newly revealed emails, discussed classified foreign policy matters, secretive 'private' comms channel with Israel

An article from Fox News reporting on information given to Judicial Watch based on a FOIA suit that you won’t see on the ‘left’s’ list of Approved Sources. I did a Google search and there’s nothing about this. What you find is the LAST time they found classified info on her server back in 2016. Maybe they’ll mention it in a week or never.
