Originally broadcast in February of 2016, who could have imagined then what Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server would lead and how it possibly was a key component in a failed Presidential campaign and short circuited her bid for the Presidency.
At the time we did this interview we wondered if it was a case of confusion over what were cast by some as administrative violations
but subsequently turned into an examination of possible breaking of multiple laws when it came to handling classified documents.
Attorney Mark Zaid, one of the nations leading experts in the law surrounding the use of and handling of classified information joined Speaking of Justice to discuss the facts in this case as we knew them back in early 2016 and what he felt the law actually said regarding the classification of documents.
This discussion goes into the details of the law, the process and what usually happens in these matters. Separating the political statements, twisting of facts and idea, from the reality of what could actually happen is only made more fascinating by subsequent developments and the Russia interference narrative and Special Counsel investigation that followed.
