FBI treating Clinton emails as a potential criminal investigation

One week after the FBI took possession of Hillary Clinton’s personal email server, the FBI is treating the case as a potential criminal investigation. Dozens of federal investigators have been assigned to the investigation. Clinton’s main defense has been that none of the government emails she possessed were classified. But a violation of the relevant statute, 18 USC Section 1924, does not require that material classified. So her public defense may help her politically but won’t do anything for her legally.
