If they didn’t, she can and should be held accountable by voters.

Trudeau: “We don’t speak to specific emails”.
The documents – some 296 pages – were released earlier this week under a public records request by Judicial Watch.
What do you think about the latest Clinton emails?
“If he had just said, ‘Look i didn’t mean it that way, nobody in the room took it that way. then we would have moved on”, Capuano said. “The Clintons don’t want us to get everything”. But those emails do raise questions about whether the relationship between the State Department and Clinton Foundation was too cozy, particularly after Clinton pledged she would not be involved with the foundation when she became secretary of state, in an effort to prevent an inappropriate relationship.
Fitton and Bossie said they had staffers closely examine the emails to determine what their implications were before they were released.
“You know, the almost 55,000 pages of former Secretary Clinton’s emails released by the department over the past year give a sense of the wide range of individuals both inside and outside of government that State Department officials are in contact with on a range of subjects”. She said she was unable to turn over all the emails she’d sent or received in her first weeks as secretary of state because she’d used the account she’d had when she was a senator, and no emails were captured on her private server.
At a Washington hearing last month that occurred as the FBI closed its investigation into the email server without recommending charges, agency director James Comey declined to say whether the Clinton Foundation was under investigation.
The new documents shed light on what appears to be a tangled relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. “As we have just received this material from the Federal Bureau of Investigation we are still assessing what our process will look like”.
At issue were newly Clinton released emails – one of which was a request from a Clinton Foundation official to Hillary aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin requesting a meeting between a billionaire donor and the US ambassador to Lebanon. Lawsuits have been filed seeking access to them. The State Department said she was on personal time. But given the political and diplomatic power of Clinton, seeing the controversial funding of the Foundation, opponents of Hillary Clinton will certainly not let go off such a controversy.
Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a petition calling for a probe into the Clinton Foundation after the Justice Department reportedly shot down an FBI request for an investigation into the charitable organization.
Band, who declined Wednesday to comment, had the credentials to get the State Department’s attention.
The Clinton campaign has denied any wrongdoing in the matter.
The line of questioning was sparked by a newly released email from 2009 showing a longtime aide with ties to the Foundation asking top Clinton aides to give a job to an unidentified associate.

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin offered Jeffrey Feltman, at that time the USA ambassador to Lebanon. “The Clinton Foundation has time and time again exposed itself as a culture of corruption, pay-to-play deals, and downright fraud”.
