As the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has decided to reopen the secret email case of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the rival Republican Party (GOP) has demanded her disqualification from the U.S. presidential race.
Republican National Committee (RNC) reported Friday that FBI has discovered new emails from Hillary Clinton’s secret server and the agency has decided to reopen its investigation into the matter.
“What’s indisputable is that Hillary Clinton jeopardized classified information on thousands of occasions in her reckless attempt to hide pay-to-play corruption at her State Department. This alone should be disqualifying for anyone seeking the presidency, a job that is supposed to begin each morning with a top secret intelligence briefing,” said RNC chairman Reince Priebus.

Questions are being raised about Hillary Clinton’s practice of using her own private email address and server instead of using the official email facility during her stint as Secretary of State.
It is alleged that instead of retaining and preserving all her written records, as the Federal Records Act requires, Clinton allowed her political cronies to decide which emails she turned over, before deleting about 30,000 emails.
In April, secret information service WikiLeaks had launched a searchable archive for 30,322 emails and email attachments sent to and from Hillary Clinton’s private email server while she was Secretary of State.

The 50,547 pages of documents span from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014. And 7,570 of the documents were sent by Hillary Clinton.
The emails were made available in the form of thousands of PDFs by the US State Department as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request. The final PDFs were made available on February 29, 2016.
While Hillary Clinton blames Russia for hacking her emails and altering them to influence the outcome of U.S. election, the RNC has launched a dedicated website to reveal facts about Clinton’s emails.
“The FBI’s decision to reopen the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret email server just eleven days before the election shows how serious this discovery must be. This stunning development raises serious questions about what records may not have been turned over and why, and whether they show intent to violate the law,” RNC said in its statement.
The U.S. presidential election is scheduled to take place Tuesday, November 8, 2016.
