Hillary Clinton is facing a long summer of scrutiny over her emails and use of a private server, the Republican National Committee (RNC) said Wednesday.
As news and criticism about the former secretary of State’s “homebrew” email setup trickles out in coming weeks, the Republican Party appears primed to pounce, it indicated in a memo released to the press.
“Clinton’s credibility has been torn to shreds, and as her team struggles to spin her obvious breach of the law, her persistent dishonesty has only created a new set of hurdles,” Sean Spicer, the RNC's communications director and chief strategist, wrote in the memo.
In the memo, Spicer makes clear that Republicans are not going to let up on Clinton over her server, which is set to come under new public scrutiny as the summer heats up.
Wednesday’s memo comes a week after the State Department’s inspector general released a critical report claiming Clinton violated department record-keeping rules and that the server arrangement would not have been approved had she sought approval. The report also unearthed new emails from Clinton that she did not deliver to the department.
The report “report reinforces what everyone knows and dislikes about Hillary Clinton,” Spicer claimed, pointing to a clear vulnerability for the leading Democrat.
