There is no point keep saying she was cleared, she should never have been, the law exists on violations of classified material, and she should have been prosecuted for keeping a private server containing highly classified stuff on there. In her case, the law was selectively ignored.
You cannot have a law and then let someone get off Scot free when they violate it, yet she was and that was the wrong decision, you either believe in the rule of the law or you do not, just because of who it is.
Those emails were still classified and she did not have any permission to keep them on a private server, in her own property, same as Trump with these documents, only like you say, are in physical format, rather than a virtual one.
Classified material is either, they were not just random emails, they had classifications, and she violated laws on storage of and use of them.

If “ah but Hilliary” is the new “ah but Starmer” this could be long, circuitous thread ignoring the facts.

You as well, you need to wind your neck in too, I do not give a stuff about Trump, if he’s broke the law, fine, the book gets thrown at him, but we have a historical precedent of the law not being applied in such cases, & that matters, the law is the law, you cannot selectively let someone off for the same kind of violations on safe storage and use of classified material, Clinton was.
