Yes, this is the big elephant in the room. The only sane reason to have such an arrangement is to avoid oversight and accountability. The large number of deleted emails should also be a red flag as to what the real motive was.

From the outside, that is what it seems like. To avoid accountability. If, as the above poster said, it's a rule/law shouldn't they be disallowed from running for president? By breaking a law that is. Edit: (can't reply to dogma thread too long?). Damn. I can sort of understand why, but how isn't this sort of law breaking being pushed by everyone else running for president. I would be pointing it out!

  There are no restrictions that prevent convicted felons from running to president. A small pro tip if you can't reply, click reply to any comment and just edit the post id to the one of the comment you want to reply too in the URL.

  The Republicans have been attacking her over it, but they're largely focused on the primaries and Donald Trump right now. Bernie decided not to attack her over the issue at the first Democratic Party debate last year. It was honestly a smart move on his part. He wants to win the primary, but he wants his side to win even if he does not. In the general election campaign, Hillary will now be more convincing when she says it's just a Republican witch hunt (see "vast right-wing conspiracy" from her time as FLOTUS). In the unlikely scenario that she's actually indicted for a crime, she'd probably be politically forced to drop out of the race, but who knows.

I would totally try to avoid an official record if I wanted to facilitate a coup in Latin America. I guess the real wtf is why she didn't get better opsec advice from some private former-cia-or-other-agency people, if she wanted to play at clandestine geopolitics.
