The Justice Department has gone to great lengths to protect Mrs. Clinton <http:///topics/hillary-clinton/> during this presidential campaign, refusing to pursue charges that she mishandled classified information, and fighting against forcing her to testify under oath in a court case about her emails. The department also reportedly refused an FBI <http:///topics/federal-bureau-of-investigation/> recommendation to investigate the Clinton Foundation. ----------- The so-called "Justice Department" has no business trying to fight Hillary Clinton's battles in that Judicial Watch matter. That is HILLARY'S problem - not the Justice Department's.
