WASHINGTON — As Hillary Clinton moves toward the Democratic presidential nomination, she faces legal hurdles from her use of a private computer server as secretary of state that could jar her campaign’s momentum in the months ahead.
Foremost among a half-dozen inquiries and legal proceedings into whether classified information was sent through Mrs. Clinton’s server is an investigation by the F.B.I., whose agents, according to one law enforcement official, could seek to question Mrs. Clinton’s closest aides and possibly the candidate herself within weeks.
It is commonplace for the F.B.I. to try to interview key figures before closing an investigation, and doing so is not an indication the bureau thinks a person broke the law. Although defense lawyers often discourage their clients from giving such interviews, Democrats fear the refusal of Mrs. Clinton or her top aides to cooperate would be ready ammunition for Donald J. Trump, the Republican front-runner.

Update: Justice Dept. grants immunity to staffer who set up Clinton email server (Washington Post)
Previous Post: Has A Grand Jury Been Convened On The Hillary Clinton Email Case?
WNU Editor: What's my take .... 150 FBI agents on the case. The FBI Director personally overseeing the case. A State Department investigation. The Attorney General refusing to comment on this case. Immunity being granted to former workers for Hillary Clinton. Rumours of a Grand Jury being assembled. The Justice Department is going to be forced to make some hard decisions in the coming months, probably around May.
Do you think it is remotely possible for them to put her on trial? At this point - with her dominating in the Democratic primaries - it'd just be bizarre.
