Clinton Emails: Closing The Loop On A Prominent Story
A long investigation comes to an end with little coverage from NPR.
I wrote last week about what we in my office informally call "missing stories," those stories that NPR listeners and readers feel have been under-covered. Newsrooms have to set priorities, of course, and they can't cover everything. But this week's "missing story" is a particularly notable omission.
Late Friday, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley released a he had received from the State Department earlier in the week, in: The investigation found "no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information." It did find that 38 current or former employees, in 91 cases, sent classified information (some of it classified after the fact) that ended up in Clinton's personal email. Some of them may face discipline.
